(x)    To such Issuer’s knowledge, each of the Mortgaged Properties owned by such Issuer or securing a Mortgage Loan owned by such Issuer is a commercial property and is operated for commercial purposes.
(g)    The representations and warranties of each Issuer set forth in Section 2.02(a) shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall inure to the benefit of the Persons to whom and for whose benefit they were made for so long as such Issuer remains in existence. Upon discovery by any party hereto of any breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.
Section 2.03.    Recordings and Filings; Books and Records.
(c)    In connection with the Grant made by the Issuers to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Granting Clause of the Indenture, each Issuer shall cause the delivery of the applicable Lease Files for the Leases and the applicable Loan Files for the applicable Mortgage Loans to the Custodian in accordance with the Custody Agreement for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee in furtherance of such Grant and such Issuer shall cause: (i) with respect to the Mortgaged Properties owned by such Issuer (A) each Mortgage, Financing Statement and continuation statement referred to in the definition of “Lease File” in the Custody Agreement to be submitted to the appropriate Title Company (as defined below) on or before the applicable Series Closing Date or Transfer Date for recording or filing, as the case may be, in the appropriate public office for real property records or for Financing Statements, at the expense of such Issuer and (B) each title insurance binder or commitment referred to in the definition of “Lease File” in the Custody Agreement to be issued as a final title insurance policy by the title companies (the “Title Companies”) issuing the same (the “Title Insurance Policies”); and (ii) with respect to the Mortgage Loans owned by such Issuer, promptly (and in any event within 60 days following the applicable Series Closing Date or Transfer Date) each assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Collateral Agent referred to in clauses (v) and (vi) of the definition of “Loan File” in the Custody Agreement and each Financing Statement on the applicable UCC form in favor of the Collateral Agent referred to in clause (iii) of such definition to be submitted for recording or filing, as the case may be, in the appropriate public office for real property records or for Financing Statements. Each such assignment and each Mortgage shall reflect that, following recording, it should be returned by the public recording office to the Custodian, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee (or to the Property Manager (or its designee), who shall then deliver such recorded document to the Custodian), and each such Financing Statement shall reflect that the file copy thereof should be returned to the Custodian, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee (or to the Property Manager (or its designee), who shall then deliver such filed document to the Custodian) following filing; provided, that in those instances where the public recording office retains the original Mortgage, assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases, the Property Manager, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, shall obtain therefrom a certified copy of the recorded original. Each of the Title Companies issuing the Title Insurance Policies shall be instructed by the applicable Issuer to deliver such policies to the Custodian, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee. The Property Manager, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, shall use reasonable efforts to diligently pursue with the Title Companies the return of each of the Mortgages, assignments of Mortgage and Financing Statements from the appropriate recording or filing offices and the delivery of the Title Insurance Policies by the related Title Companies. If any such document or instrument is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, the applicable Issuer shall promptly prepare and cause to be executed a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter, such Issuer shall cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate. The Property Manager shall file any continuation statements necessary to continue the effectiveness of the Financing Statements.
(d)    Each Issuer shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Property Manager all documents and records in the possession of such Issuer or any related Originators that relate to the applicable Mortgaged Properties, Leases and Mortgage Loans and that are not required to be a part of a Lease File or a Loan File in accordance with the definition thereof, and the Property Manager shall hold all such documents and records in trust on behalf of the Indenture Trustee (in hard copy or electronic format). The Property Manager’s possession of such documents and records shall be at the will of the related Issuer and the Indenture Trustee for the sole purpose of facilitating the servicing of the applicable Leases, Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Properties pursuant to this Agreement and such possession by the Property Manager shall be in a custodial capacity only on behalf of the Indenture Trustee. The ownership of such documents and records shall be vested in each Issuer, as applicable, subject to the lien of the Indenture, and the ownership of all documents and records with respect to the applicable Leases, Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Properties that are prepared by or which come into possession of the Property Manager or the Special Servicer shall immediately vest in such Issuer, subject to the lien of the Indenture, and shall be delivered to and deposited with the Property Manager, in the case of documents or records in the hands of the Special Servicer, and retained and maintained in trust by the Property Manager in such custodial capacity only on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, except as otherwise provided herein. All such documents and records shall be appropriately maintained in a manner to clearly reflect the ownership of such documents and records by the applicable Issuers, subject to the lien of the Indenture, and that such documents and records are being held on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, and the Property Manager shall release such documents and records from its custody only in accordance with this Agreement.
(e)    [Reserved].
(f)    The Property Manager shall monitor the delivery of the Lease Files and the Loan Files to the Custodian, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee.
Section 2.04.    Repurchase or Transfer for Collateral Defects and Breaches of Representations and Warranties.
(a)    If any party hereto discovers that any document required to be included in any Loan File or Lease File is missing (after the date it is required to be delivered) or otherwise deficient (any such absence or deficiency, an “Applicable Absence or Deficiency”) or that there exists a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by any Originator set forth in the applicable Property Transfer Agreement, any Issuer as required under Section 2.19 of the Indenture or the Support Provider under Section 2 of the applicable Performance Undertaking with respect to any applicable Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property or related Lease (such representations and warranties, the “Applicable Representations”), and if such absence or deficiency or breach materially and adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or such Mortgaged Property and related Lease or the interests of the applicable Issuer or the Noteholders therein, such party shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other parties to this Agreement. If such absence, deficiency or breach materially and adversely affects the value of the applicable Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property or the related Lease or the interests of the applicable Issuer or the Noteholders in the related Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property or related Lease (a “Collateral Defect”), within 60 days following notice thereof, an applicable Cure Party shall (a) deliver the missing document or cure the deficiency or breach, as the case may be, in all material respects or (b) repurchase such Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property from the applicable Issuer at an amount equal to the Payoff Amount for such Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property, or exchange one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans or Qualified Substitute Mortgaged Properties for such Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property, as the case may be (subject to Section 7.04); provided, that if (i) such Collateral Defect is capable of being cured (including by delivery of a missing document) but not within such 60-day period, (ii) an applicable Cure Party has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure (which may include the delivery of a missing document) of such Collateral Defect within such 60-day period, and (iii) prior to the end of such 60-day period, an applicable Cure Party shall have delivered to the applicable Issuer, the Property Manager and the Indenture Trustee a certification executed on its behalf by an officer thereof setting forth the reason such Collateral Defect is not capable of being cured within an initial 60-day period and what actions such Cure Party is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that it anticipates that such Collateral Defect will be cured within an additional period of 60 days, then such Cure Party shall have an additional 60 days commencing on the 61st day from receipt of such request to (x) complete such cure or (y) effectuate a repurchase of, or exchange for, the applicable Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property as described in clause (b) above. If the affected Mortgaged Property (and related Lease) or Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, funds in the amount of the Payoff Amount shall be wired to the Release Account, and the Property Manager shall promptly notify the applicable Issuer, the Back-Up Manager, and the Indenture Trustee when such deposit is made. In addition, failure to deliver the documents specified in clauses (i), (ii), (iv) or (ix) of the definition of “Loan File” or clauses (i), (iv) or (v) in the definition of “Lease File” to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to constitute a Collateral Defect.
In the event that an applicable Cure Party elects to substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgaged Properties or Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgaged Property or Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04(a), such Cure Party shall give notice of same to the Back-Up Manager and each Issuer and deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Custodian all documents as specified in the definition of “Lease File” or “Loan File” in the Custody Agreement with respect to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgaged Property or Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan no later than the date such Qualified Substitute Mortgaged Property or Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan is acquired by the applicable Issuer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Monthly Lease Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgaged Properties and Monthly Loan Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month in which the applicable substitution occurs shall not be part of the Collateral and will be retained by the Property Manager and remitted by the Property Manager to the applicable Cure Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that any Mortgaged Property or Mortgage Loan is to be substituted for (and released) pursuant to this Section 2.04(a), the applicable Issuer shall be entitled to receive the Monthly Lease Payment due on the Lease for any such Mortgaged Property in the month in which such substitution occurs and the Monthly Loan Payment due on any such Mortgage Loan in the month in which such substitution occurs and thereafter the applicable Person acquiring such Mortgaged Property or Mortgage Loan shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Lease or Mortgage Loan. On or prior to the effective date of any substitution or repurchase pursuant to this Section 2.04(a), the Property Manager shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuers an amended Mortgaged Property Schedule and Mortgage Loan Schedule reflecting the addition (if any) to the Collateral of each new Qualified Substitute Mortgaged Property and Lease and each new Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and the removal from the Collateral of each Mortgaged Property and Lease and each Mortgage Loan that, in either case, was repurchased or substituted for. Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgaged Property and/or Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the applicable Cure Party that elected, caused and effected such substitution shall be required (in its capacity as Originator) to make the representations and warranties, as of the date of such substitution, with respect to the Qualified Substitute Mortgaged Property and/or Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, contained in the applicable Property Transfer Agreement, except to the extent (x) the Requisite Global Majority, in their discretion, otherwise give their prior written consent or (y) the Affirmative Rating Condition is satisfied. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that any Cure Party takes any action described in this Section 2.4(a), the failure to take such action shall not constitute a default or breach with respect to any other Cure Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Cure Parties expressly set forth in this Section 2.04(a) constitute (i) the sole remedies available to the Noteholders and to the Indenture Trustee on their behalf in respect of a breach of the Applicable Representations and (ii) the sole remedies available to the Noteholders and to the Indenture Trustee on their behalf in respect of an Applicable Absence or Deficiency.
(b)    Upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate from the Property Manager to the effect that all requirements for any repurchase or substitution pursuant to Section 2.4(a) have been satisfied, which Officer’s Certificate shall be furnished by the Property Manager promptly after such requirements have been satisfied, the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, shall release or cause to be released to the Person acquiring such Mortgaged Property or Mortgage Loan, or its designee, the related Lease File or Loan File, as applicable, and each of the applicable Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer and assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be provided to it and are reasonably necessary to vest in such Person the ownership of such Mortgaged Property and the related Lease or Mortgage Loan, free and clear of the lien of the Indenture and the related Mortgage. The Property Manager shall, and is hereby authorized and empowered by each applicable Issuer and the Indenture Trustee to, prepare, execute and deliver in its own name, on behalf of such Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Collateral Agent or any of them, the endorsements, assignments and other documents contemplated by this Section 2.04(b), and such Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver any limited powers of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit D necessary to permit the Property Manager to do so; provided, however, that none of the Issuers, the Issuer Members, the Indenture Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall be held liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney by the Property Manager and the Property Manager hereby agrees to indemnify the Issuers, the Issuer Members, the Indenture Trustee and the Collateral Agent against, and hold the Issuers, the Issuer Members, the Indenture Trustee and the Collateral Agent harmless from, any loss or liability arising from any misuse of such power of attorney. In connection with any such repurchase or substitution by any Cure Party, the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as appropriate, shall deliver the related Lease File or Loan File, as applicable, to such Cure Party.
(c)     If any Cure Party defaults on its obligations to repurchase or substitute for any Mortgaged Property as contemplated by Section 2.04(a) or the applicable Performance Undertaking, as the case may be, the Property Manager shall promptly notify the Issuers, the Back-Up Manager and the Indenture Trustee and shall take such actions with respect to the enforcement of such obligations, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings, as the Property Manager shall determine, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, are in the best interests of the applicable Issuer and the Noteholders. In the event the Property Manager fails to take such actions, the Back-Up Manager shall do so if it has notice of such default by the Property Manager. Any and all expenses incurred by the Property Manager or the Back-Up Manager with respect to the foregoing shall constitute Property Protection Advances in respect of the affected Mortgaged Property and neither the Property Manager nor the Back-Up Manager shall have any obligation to any such expenses if it determines that such amounts would constitute Nonrecoverable Advances.
Section 2.05.    Non-Petition.
The Issuers will cause each party to any property transfer agreement, purchase and sale agreement or loan purchase agreement between any such Issuer and seller of Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties pursuant thereto to covenant and agree that such party shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Issuer, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or any other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.
ARTICLE III    

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGED PROPERTIES AND LEASES
Section 3.01.    Administration of the Mortgaged Properties, Leases and Mortgage Loans.
(h)    Each of the Property Manager and the Special Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgaged Properties, Leases and Mortgage Loans in the Collateral Pool that it is obligated to service and administer pursuant to this Agreement on behalf of the applicable Issuers, and in the best interests and for the benefit of the holders of the Notes and the LLC Interests (as a collective whole) in accordance with any and all applicable laws and the terms of this Agreement, the Property Insurance Policies and the respective Leases and Mortgage Loans and, to the extent consistent with the foregoing, in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Without limiting the foregoing, and subject to Section 3.20, (i) the Property Manager shall service and administer each Lease (and each related Mortgaged Property) and each Mortgage Loan as to which no Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and each Corrected Lease and Corrected Loan, and (ii) the Special Servicer shall service and administer each Lease (and each related Mortgaged Property) and each Mortgage Loan as to which a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and that is not a Corrected Lease or Corrected Loan, as applicable; provided, however, that the Property Manager shall continue to collect information and prepare and deliver all reports to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuers required hereunder with respect to any Specially Serviced Leases (and the related Mortgaged Properties) and Specially Serviced Loans, and further to render such incidental services with respect to any Specially Serviced Assets as are specifically provided for herein. No direction, consent or approval or lack of direction, consent or approval of any Controlling Party or the Requisite Global Majority may (and the Special Servicer or the Property Manager will ignore and act without regard to any such advice or approval or lack of approval that the Special Servicer or the Property Manager has determined, in its reasonable, good faith judgment, would) (A) require or cause the Special Servicer or the Property Manager to violate applicable law, the Servicing Standard or the terms of any Mortgage Loan or any Lease or (B) expand the scope of the Property Manager’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement. In addition, neither the Property Manager nor the Special Servicer, acting in its individual capacity (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not in the capacity of Special Servicer or Property Manager), shall take any action or omit to take any action as lessor of any Collateral if such action or omission would materially and adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Notes or the LLC Interests or the Issuers. None of the Property Manager, the Special Servicer or the Back-Up Manager shall be liable to the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholder or any other Person for following any direction of a Controlling Party hereunder, and any action taken in accordance with such direction shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard and deemed not to breach such party’s obligations hereunder.
(i)    Subject to Section 3.01(a), the Property Manager and the Special Servicer each shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Properties and related Leases that it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Property Manager and the Special Servicer, in its own name, with respect to each of the Mortgaged Properties, Leases and Mortgage Loans it is obligated to service or administer hereunder, is hereby authorized and empowered by the applicable Issuers and the Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of each such Issuer and the Indenture Trustee: (i) any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by any Mortgage or other security document in the related Asset File on the related Collateral; (ii) in accordance with the Servicing Standard and subject to Sections 3.08 and 3.19, any and all modifications, waivers, amendments or consents to or with respect to any documents contained in the related Asset File; and (iii) any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments. Subject to Section 3.10, each applicable Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall, at the written request of a Servicing Officer of the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, furnish, or cause to be so furnished, to the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, any limited powers of attorney (substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto) and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable it to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided, however, that none of the Issuers, the Issuer Members or the Indenture Trustee shall be held liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney by the Property Manager or the Special Servicer and each of the Property Manager and the Special Servicer hereby agree to indemnify the Issuers, the Issuer Members, the Back-Up Manager and the Indenture Trustee against, and hold the Issuers, the Issuer Members, the Back-Up Manager and the Indenture Trustee harmless from, any cost, loss or liability arising from any misuse by it of such power of attorney. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Property Manager shall not, without the Indenture Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Indenture Trustee’s name without indicating the Indenture Trustee’s representative capacity or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and which actually does cause, the Indenture Trustee to be registered to do business in any state.
(j)    Promptly after any request therefor, the Property Manager shall provide to the Indenture Trustee: (i) the most recent inspection report prepared or obtained by the Property Manager or the Special Servicer in respect of each Mortgaged Property pursuant to Section 3.12(a); (ii) the most recent available operating statement and financial statements of the related Obligor collected by the Property Manager or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b), together with the accompanying written reports to be prepared by the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 3.12(c); and (iii) any and all notices and reports with respect to any Mortgaged Property as to which environmental testing is contemplated by Section 10.08 of the Indenture.
(k)    The relationship of each of the Property Manager and the Special Servicer to the Issuers and the Indenture Trustee under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be and shall be that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
(l)    The Property Manager hereby represents that the form of each Mortgage with respect to Mortgaged Properties owned by the Issuer as of the initial Series Closing Date was prepared with review and comment by counsel licensed to practice in the state where such Mortgage is filed.  The Property Manager will cause the form of each Mortgage with respect to Mortgaged Properties acquired by the Issuer after the initial Series Closing Date to be prepared with review and comment by counsel licensed to practice in the state where such Mortgage is filed.

Section 3.02.    Collection of Lease Payments and Loan Payments; Lockbox Accounts; Lockbox Transfer Accounts.
(g)    Each of the Property Manager and the Special Servicer shall undertake reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Leases and the Mortgage Loans it is obligated to service hereunder and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement (including Section 3.01(a)), follow such collection procedures as it would follow were it the owner of such Leases and Mortgage Loans. Consistent with the foregoing (and without regard to Section 3.19), the Special Servicer or the Property Manager, as the case may be, may waive any Net Default Interest or late payment charge it is entitled to in connection with any delinquent payment on a Lease or Mortgage Loan it is obligated to service hereunder.
(h)    The Property Manager shall establish and maintain one or more segregated accounts (each, a “Lockbox Account”) with one or more banks (each, a “Lockbox Account Bank”). Each Lockbox Account shall be an Eligible Account and may be an account to which payments relating to other assets serviced or managed by the Property Manager are paid; provided, that such account shall be in the nature of a clearing account and the Property Manager shall not have access to such account; provided, further, that the Property Manager shall at all times be able to readily identify any amounts that constitute Collateral. Each of the Property Manager and the Special Servicer shall, on or prior to each Series Closing Date (or, if applicable, such other date of acquisition of any Mortgage Loan or Lease by an Issuer), as to those Leases and Mortgage Loans it is obligated to service hereunder, instruct the related Obligor to make all Monthly Lease Payments and Monthly Loan Payments to a Lockbox Account. The Property Manager shall cause all amounts deposited into the Lockbox Account with respect to the Collateral to be transferred to the Collection Account or a Lockbox Transfer Account within one Business Day after such funds have been identified, cleared and become available in accordance with the polices of the Lockbox Account Bank; provided, that the Property Manager shall cause all such amounts to be transferred to the Collection Account or the Lockbox Transfer Account no later than seven Business Days after such amounts have been deposited into a Lockbox Account (the requirements set forth in this sentence, the “Lockbox Transfer Requirements”).
(i)    The Property Manager may establish and maintain one or more segregated accounts in the name of the Property Manager on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, held for the benefit of the Noteholders (each, a “Lockbox Transfer Account”) with one or more banks (each, a “Lockbox Transfer Account Bank”). Each Lockbox Transfer Account shall be an Eligible Account. Each Lockbox Transfer Account shall be subject to an Account Control Agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee) among the Property Manager, the Indenture Trustee and the applicable Lockbox Transfer Account Bank. Except as expressly permitted herein, neither the Property Manager nor the Issuers will have any right of withdrawal from the Lockbox Transfer Account, and the Property Manager hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not withdraw, or direct any Person to withdraw, any funds from the Lockbox Transfer Account except as expressly permitted hereunder.
Section 3.03.    Collection of Real Estate Taxes and Insurance Premiums; Servicing Accounts; Property Protection Advances; P&I Advances; Emergency Property Expenses.
(d)    Each of the Property Manager and the Special Servicer shall, as to those Mortgaged Properties, Leases and Mortgage Loans it is obligated to service hereunder, establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), and shall cause to be deposited from the Lockbox Transfer Account or otherwise into such Servicing Accounts all Escrow Payments, security deposits received from Tenants pursuant to the Leases, subject to the Tenants’ rights to such amounts (“Lease Security Deposits”), and amounts required to be paid by the applicable Issuers as lessors under the Leases in respect of sales taxes (“Sales Tax Deposits”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Servicing Accounts shall be established and maintained with respect to those Mortgaged Properties, Leases or Mortgage Loans pursuant to which the Tenant or Borrower is not required to make Escrow Payments, Lease Security Deposit or Sales Tax Deposits. Each Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account. Withdrawals of amounts so collected from a Servicing Account (other than Lease Security Deposits) may be made only to: (i) effect payment of real estate or personal property taxes, sales taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, ground rents (if applicable) and comparable items (including taxes or other amounts that could constitute liens prior to or on parity with the lien of the related Mortgage); (ii) refund to Obligors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iii) pay interest, if required and as described below in clause (b), to Obligors on balances in the Servicing Account; (iv) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.01; (v) withdraw any amounts deposited in error or (vi) for any other purpose required by the applicable Lease or Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that Lease Security Deposits may not be withdrawn for such purposes and shall be withdrawn only in accordance with the terms of the related Lease, to be repaid to the related Tenant or applied in full or partial satisfaction of the obligations of the related Tenant in accordance with the Servicing Standard (for application in the same manner as payments in respect of such obligations). Any remaining portion of such Lease Security Deposit (after no further allocations could be required pursuant to clauses (i) through (vi) above) shall be withdrawn by the Property Manager from the Servicing Account and deposited into the Collection Account and shall constitute part of the Available Amount on the next Payment Date.
(e)    The Property Manager and the Special Servicer shall each pay or cause to be paid to the Obligors interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in Servicing Accounts maintained thereby, if required by law or the terms of the related Lease or Mortgage Loan. If the Property Manager or the Special Servicer shall deposit in a Servicing Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from such Servicing Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(f)    Each of the Property Manager and the Special Servicer shall, as to those Mortgaged Properties and Mortgage Loans it is obligated to service hereunder, maintain accurate records with respect to any Mortgaged Property and Mortgage Loan reflecting the status of real estate taxes, ground rents, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon, and the status of insurance premiums payable in respect thereof that, in each case, the related Obligor is contractually or legally obligated to pay under the terms of the applicable Lease or Mortgage Loan or applicable law, and the Property Manager shall effect payment thereof, as a Property Protection Advance or otherwise as payment of an Emergency Property Expense from funds on deposit in the Collection Account, as described below, if not paid by such Obligor prior to the applicable due, penalty or termination date, promptly after the Property Manager or Special Servicer, as the case may be, receives actual notice from any source of such nonpayment by such Obligor. For purposes of effecting any such payment for which it is responsible, the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall apply Escrow Payments as allowed under the terms of the related Lease or Mortgage Loan or, if such Lease or Mortgage Loan does not require the related Obligor to escrow for the payment of real estate taxes, assessments and insurance premiums, each of the Property Manager and the Special Servicer shall, as to those Leases and Mortgage Loans it is obligated to service hereunder, enforce the requirement of the related Lease and Mortgage Loan that such Obligor make payments in respect of such items at the time they first become due.
(g)    In accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Property Manager shall make Property Protection Advances with respect to each Mortgaged Property, Lease and Mortgage Loan in the Collateral Pool; provided, that in no event shall the Property Manager be required to make any Property Protection Advance that it determines would constitute a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance in accordance with Section 3.03(f). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the Property Manager shall not have any obligation to advance funds in respect of delinquent payments of principal or interest in respect of the Mortgage Loans and (ii) the Property Manager shall not have any obligation to advance real estate taxes or premiums on Insurance Policies that the related obligor or the Issuer is not contractually or legally obligated to pay, nor shall it have any obligation to monitor the timely payment of real estate taxes and insurance premiums the payment of which is the responsibility of a person other than the applicable Tenant or Borrower or Issuer; provided that if the Property Manager has actual knowledge of the non-payment of such real estate taxes and insurance premiums, it shall be obligated to make such advance in accordance with the provisions set forth herein if it would otherwise make such advance in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Each of the Property Manager, the Indenture Trustee and the Back-Up Manager will be entitled to recover any Property Protection Advance (i) from general collections if such Property Protection Advance is determined to be a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance, (ii) from any amounts subsequently received on the related Mortgage Loan or Lease or with respect to the related Mortgaged Property with respect to which such Property Protection Advance was made or (iii) in the case of the Back-Up Manager or Indenture Trustee, to the extent not recovered under clauses (i) and (ii) immediately above, from the Property Manager or any Successor Property Manager. The Property Manager shall give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee and the Back-Up Manager in the event that it has not made, and does not intend to make, any Property Protection Advance it is required to make hereunder. Promptly upon obtaining knowledge that the full amount of any Property Protection Advance required to be made by the Property Manager has not been so made, the Indenture Trustee shall provide notice of such failure to a Servicing Officer of the Property Manager and the Back-Up Manager. If the Indenture Trustee does not receive confirmation that the full amount of such Property Protection Advance has been made within four (4) Business Days following the date of such notice, then the Back-Up Manager, upon written notice from the Indenture Trustee, shall make the portion of such Property Protection Advance that was required to be, but was not, made by the Property Manager in accordance with the Servicing Standard, unless the Back-Up Manager determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such Property Protection Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance. Promptly upon obtaining knowledge that the full amount of any Property Protection Advance required to be made by the Back-Up Manager has not been so made, then the Indenture Trustee shall make the portion of such Property Protection Advance that was required to be, but was not, made by the Back-Up Manager, unless the Indenture Trustee determines in its commercially reasonable judgment that such Property Protection Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance. In making any such determination, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on any determination of nonrecoverability by the Property Manager or the Back-Up Manager, as the case may be. Any such Property Protection Advance made by the Back-Up Manager or the Indenture Trustee shall shall thereafter be reimbursable to the such Indenture Trustee or Back-Up Manager, together with Advance Interest thereon, in accordance Section 2.11 of the Indenture or from any Successor Property Manager.
(h)    If, prior to making any Property Protection Advance, the Property Manager shall have determined (which shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Indenture Trustee), in accordance with the Servicing Standard, (i) that such Property Protection Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance, and (ii) that the payment of such cost, expense or other amount for which a Property Protection Advance might be made is nonetheless in the best interest of the Noteholders, the Property Manager shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, withdraw (or, in the event the Property Manager is Spirit Realty, direct the Indenture Trustee to withdraw) funds from the Collection Account and use such funds in order to pay such costs, expenses and other amounts (collectively, “Emergency Property Expenses”) to the extent necessary to preserve the security interest in, and value of, any Mortgaged Property or Mortgage Loan, as applicable. Any such funds withdrawn from the Collection Account to pay Emergency Property Expenses shall not constitute part of the Available Amount on any Payment Date.
(i)    In determining whether it has made a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance or whether any proposed Property Protection Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance, the Property Manager (or, if applicable, the Back-Up Manager or Indenture Trustee) shall be entitled to (a) consider (among other things) the obligations of the Obligor under the terms of the related Lease Documents or Loan Documents as they may have been modified, (b) consider the related Mortgaged Properties or REO Properties in their “as is” or then current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Property Manager or the Back-Up Manager) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse changes with respect to such Mortgaged Properties or REO Properties, (c) estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Property Manager or the Back-Up Manager) (among other things) future expenses, and (d) estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Property Manager or the Back-Up Manager) (among other things) the timing of recoveries. In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that a Property Protection Advance is a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance) and, consistent with the Servicing Standard, in the case of the Property Manager, the Back-Up Manager or the Indenture Trustee, may obtain promptly upon request, from the Special Servicer, any reasonably required analysis, appraisals or market value estimates or other information in the Special Servicer’s possession for making a recoverability determination. The determination by the Property Manager, the Back-Up Manager or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, that it has made a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance or that any proposed Property Protection Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance, or any updated or changed recoverability determination, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered by such Back-Up Manager, Property Manager or Indenture Trustee to each other such Person and to the Issuers. Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the applicable Issuer, the Property Manager, the Noteholders the Back-Up Manager and the Indenture Trustee. The Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the considerations of the Property Manager, the Back-Up Manager or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (which shall be accompanied by, to the extent available, information such as related income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status and property inspections, and shall include an appraisal of the related Lease, Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property or REO Property). The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party required to make Property Protection Advances hereunder with any information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Assets which are Leases, Mortgaged Properties, Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as such party required to make Property Protection Advances may reasonably request for purposes of making recoverability determinations. In the case of a cross collateralized Mortgage Loan, such recoverability determination shall take into account the cross collateralization of the related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan.
(j)    In the event that a P&I Shortfall exists with respect to any Series for any Payment Date, the Property Manager shall deposit an amount equal to such P&I Shortfall with respect to such Series into a Series Account for such Series no later than 11:00 a.m. New York time on the related Remittance Date, and such amount shall be added to (and applied as) Series Available Amount for such Series for such Payment Date (any such amount, a “P&I Advance”).
(k)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of the Property Manager, the Back-Up Manager or the Indenture Trustee shall be required to make any P&I Advance that it determines would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. In making a determination that any P&I Advance is (or is not) a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Property Manager, the Back-Up Manager or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, may consider only the obligations of the Issuer under the terms of the transaction documents as they may have been modified, the Collateral in “as is” or then current condition and the timing and availability of anticipated cash flows as modified by such party's assumptions regarding the possibility and effect of future adverse changes, together with such other factors, including but not limited to an estimate of future expenses, timing of recovery, the inherent risk of a protracted period to complete liquidation or the potential inability to liquidate Collateral as a result of intervening creditor claims or of a bankruptcy proceeding affecting the Issuer and the effect thereof on the existence, validity and priority of any security interest encumbering the Collateral, available cash on deposit in the Collection Account, the future allocations and disbursements of cash on deposit in the Collection Account, and the net proceeds derived from any of the foregoing. Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the applicable Issuer, the Property Manager, the Special Servicer, the Noteholders the Back-Up Manager and the Indenture Trustee.
(l)    If the Indenture Trustee does not receive confirmation that the full amount of such P&I Advance has been made by 5:00 p.m. New York time on such Remittance Date, then the Back-Up Manager, after receipt of written notice from the Indenture Trustee, shall deposit, into a Series Account for such Series, the portion of such P&I Advance that was required to be, but was not, made by the Property Manager by 10:00 a.m. New York time on the Payment Date, unless the Back-Up Manager determines (in accordance with clause (h) above) that such P&I Advance would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. If the Indenture Trustee does not receive confirmation that the full amount of such P&I Advance that was required to be made by such Back-Up Manager has been made by 11:00 a.m. New York time on such Remittance Date, then the Indenture Trustee, shall deposit, into a Series Account for such Series, the portion of such P&I Advance that was required to be, but was not, made by the Property Manager on or prior to the time the Series Available Amount is distributed to such Series in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, unless the Indenture Trustee determines (in accordance with clause (h) above) that such P&I Advance would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. In making any such determination, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on any determination of nonrecoverability by the Property Manager or the Back-Up Manager, as the case may be.
(m)    Additionally, in the event that a Series of Notes (other than the initial Series of Notes) is proposed to be issued, the Property Manager will give notice to the Back-Up Manager and the Indenture Trustee of such proposed issuance. Within ten business days of receipt of such notice, the Back-Up Manager will be obligated to notify the Property Manager and the Indenture Trustee in writing as to whether the Back-Up Manager is willing to make Advances after such Series of Notes is issued. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that the Back-Up Manager delivers to the Property Manager and the Indenture Trustee a notice stating that it is unwilling to make such Advances after such issuance (with respect to any such Notes, a “Decline to Advance Notice”), the Property Manager in its sole discretion (and without the consent of the Indenture Trustee, any Issuer or any Noteholder) will be permitted to remove the Back-Up Manager (a “Discretionary Back-Up Manager Removal”) and appoint a successor Back-Up Manager (so long as the Affirmative Rating Condition is satisfied in connection with such appointment); provided, that, no such removal will be effective until such a successor Back-Up Manager is appointed. In the event of any such removal, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Back-Up Manager shall be required to (i) cooperate reasonably to effectuate the transfer of the back-up servicing rights, duties and obligations to such successor and (ii) take any actions reasonably requested by the Property Manager in order to effectuate such appointment. In the event that a Series of Notes is issued with respect to which the Back-Up Manager has delivered to the Property Manager and the Indenture Trustee a Decline to Advance Notice but a successor Back-Up Manager has not been appointed, the Back-Up Manager will have no further obligation to make any Advance from and after the date (the “Non-Advance Date”) of issuance of such Notes (but, for the avoidance of doubt, will have the right to be reimbursed for any Advances previously made). If the Back-Up Manager has delivered a Decline to Advance Notice to the Property Manager and the Indenture Trustee and a successor Back-Up Manager has not been appointed, the obligations of the Indenture Trustee to make Advances shall automatically cease as of the Non-Advance Date (but, for the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture Trustee will have the right to be reimbursed for any Advances previously made). So long as the Back-Up Manager has not been removed, after any Non-Advance Date, the Back-Up Manager may deliver an Officer’s Certificate to each of the Property Manager and the Indenture Trustee stating that it wishes to reinstate its obligation to make Advances. Upon such delivery, (x) the Back-Up Manager and the Indenture Trustee will again be obligated to make Advances to the extent required in accordance with this Agreement and in the manner described in this Agreement (as if the applicable Decline to Advance Notice had not been delivered) and (y) the Property Manager will no longer be permitted to effectuate a Discretionary Back-Up Manager Removal, in each case until a subsequent Decline to Advance Notice is delivered by the Back-Up Manager (which may only be delivered in connection with an additional proposed issuance of a Series of Notes).
Section 3.04.    Collection Account; Release Account.
(a)    The Property Manager shall establish and maintain one or more separate accounts in the name of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders, for the collection of payments on and other amounts received in respect of the Leases, the Mortgaged Properties and the Mortgage Loans (collectively, the “Collection Account”), which shall be established in such manner and with the type of depository institution (the “Collection Account Bank”) specified in this Agreement that permits the Collection Account to be an Eligible Account. The Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account. If the Property Manager is Spirit Realty, the Property Manager shall establish and maintain the Collection Account at a Collection Account Bank at the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall have the sole right of withdrawal from such account; provided, that the Property Manager shall be permitted to make withdrawals from such Collection Account to the extent expressly permitted under the terms hereof. If the Property Manager is not Spirit Realty or another Affiliate of the Issuers, the Collection Account shall be subject to an Account Control Agreement among the applicable Issuers, the Property Manager, the Indenture Trustee and the Collection Account Bank.
The Property Manager shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account, (i) other than payments and collections deposited into a Lockbox Account, within two (2) Business Days after receipt, the following payments and collections received or made by or on behalf of the Property Manager on or after the later of the applicable Transfer Date (other than payments due before the applicable Transfer Date) and (ii) in the case of collections and payments deposited into a Lockbox Account, in accordance with the Lockbox Transfer Requirements, the Property Manager shall instruct each Lockbox Account Bank to transfer the following payments and collections deposited in the Lockbox Account (A) to the Lockbox Transfer Account and, within one Business Day thereafter from the Lockbox Transfer Account into the Collection Account or (B) directly into the Collection Account:
(i)    all payments on account of Monthly Lease Payments, Monthly Loan Payments and, so long as an Early Amortization Event, Series Post ARD Event or Sweep Period has occurred and is continuing, Excess Cashflow;
(ii)    all payments of other amounts payable by the Obligors on the Leases and the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation Yield Maintenance Premiums;
(iii)    all Property Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds (other than proceeds paid to the related Borrower or Tenant as required by Loan Documents or Lease Documents, as applicable, proceeds applied to the restoration or remediation of property or otherwise in accordance with the Servicing Standard) and all Liquidation Proceeds;
(iv)    all cash proceeds and other amounts (other than Insurance Proceeds and REO Revenues) from the release or substitution of any Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property to the extent not deposited into the Release Account; and all cash proceeds from the release or substitution of any Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property transferred from the Release Account to the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(b) and all proceeds representing earnings on investments in the Release Account (including interest on any Permitted Investments) made with such proceeds;
(v)    any amounts required to be deposited into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.07(b) in connection with losses resulting from a deductible clause in a blanket hazard insurance policy;
(vi)    any amounts received on account of payments under the Guaranties, the Property Transfer Agreements, the Performance Undertakings or the Environmental Indemnity Agreements; and
(vii)    all REO Revenues;
(viii)    any other amounts required to be so deposited under this Agreement.
Except as expressly permitted hereunder, the Property Manager shall not make any withdrawals from the Collection Account except in accordance with this Section 3.04 and Section 3.05(a) hereof. The Collection Account shall be maintained as a segregated account, separate and apart from trust funds created for certificates, bonds or notes of other series of notes (other than any Series) serviced by and the other accounts of the Property Manager.
Upon direct receipt by the Special Servicer of any of the amounts described above with respect to any Specially Serviced Asset or the Mortgaged Property or REO Property relating thereto, the Special Servicer shall promptly but in no event later than the second Business Day after receipt (or, if later, the date on which such amounts are available to the Special Servicer), remit such amounts to the Property Manager for deposit into the Collection Account in accordance with this Section 3.04(a), unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item should not be deposited therein because of a restrictive endorsement or other reasonably appropriate reason. The Property Manager shall not deposit (or cause to be deposited) into the Collection Account or the Lockbox Transfer Account any collections allocated to Companion Loans, any Additional Servicing Compensation, amounts received on account of Excess Cashflow (so long as no Early Amortization Event, Series Post ARD Event or Sweep Period has occurred and is continuing), Sales Tax Deposits, Escrow Payments, Lease Security Deposits, amounts received as reimbursement for any cost paid by the Issuers as lessors or lenders under the Leases or Mortgage Loans, as applicable, amounts collected by or on behalf of the Issuers and held in escrow or impound as lenders or lessors to pay future obligations or other amounts that the Property Manager is not required to deposit into the Collection Account as expressly set forth herein.
With respect to any such amounts paid by check to the order of the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall endorse such check to the order of the Property Manager and shall deliver promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day after receipt, any such check to the Property Manager by overnight courier, unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item cannot be so endorsed and delivered because of a restrictive endorsement or other reasonably appropriate reason. The funds held in the Collection Account may be held as cash or invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06(a). Any interest or other income earned on funds in the Collection Account will be added to the Available Amount.
(b)    The Property Manager shall establish and maintain at a bank designated by the Indenture Trustee a segregated account in the name of the Indenture Trustee for the deposit of cash proceeds from the sale of any Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property or receipt of any Balloon Payments or Principal Prepayments (the “Release Account”). The Release Account shall be an Eligible Account. The funds held in the Release Account may be held as cash or invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06(b). The Release Account and the amounts on deposit therein will be pledged to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture. The Property Manager will deposit or cause to be deposited in the Release Account, on the date of receipt, any cash proceeds from the sale of any Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property and any Balloon Payments or Principal Prepayments received in connection with any Mortgage Loan.
Section 3.05.    Withdrawals From the Collection Account and the Release Account.
(a)    If the Property Manager is Spirit Realty, then the Indenture Trustee shall make withdrawals upon the written direction of the Property Manager from the Collection Account (i) on each Remittance Date, for delivery by wire transfer of immediately available funds for deposit into the Payment Account, of the Available Amount for the related Payment Date for application by the Indenture Trustee to make payments in accordance with the priorities set forth pursuant to Section 2.11(b) of the Indenture, (ii) on any date, to pay any Emergency Property Expenses (pursuant to Section 3.03(e)) and (iii) on any date, to remove amounts deposited in the Collection Account in error. If the Property Manager is an entity other than Spirit Realty, then the Property Manager shall make withdrawals from the Collection Account (i) on each Remittance Date, for delivery by wire transfer of immediately available funds for deposit into the Payment Account, of the Available Amount for the related Payment Date for application by the Indenture Trustee to make payments in accordance with the priorities set forth pursuant to Section 2.11(b) of the Indenture, (ii) on any date, to pay the Property Management Fee, the Back-Up Fee, any Special Servicing Fees, any Liquidation Fees and any Workout Fees (each, pursuant to Section 3.11), (iii) on any date, to reimburse the Property Manager or the Back-Up Manager for any Property Protection Advances and Advance Interest thereon as provided in Section 3.03(d), (iv) on any date, to pay any Emergency Property Expenses (pursuant to Section 3.03(e)) or (v) on any date, to remove amounts deposited in the Collection Account in error. Except as provided in Section 3.04(a), no other amounts may be withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Property Manager.
(b)    Amounts deposited in the Release Account with respect to any Mortgage Loan, Lease or Mortgaged Property (including Net Investment Earnings on funds on deposit therein) shall be applied by the Property Manager (or the Indenture Trustee based on the instructions of the Property Manager if the Property Manager is Spirit Realty), to reimburse the Property Manager, the Special Servicer and the Back-Up Manager any amounts owed with respect to unreimbursed Extraordinary Expenses, Property Protection Advances and Advance Interest thereon and Emergency Property Expenses related to such Mortgage Loan, Lease or Mortgaged Property and to pay the expenses related to the release of such Mortgage Loan, Lease or Mortgaged Property. After any such reimbursements have been made, any remaining amounts deposited in the Release Account with respect to any Mortgage Loan, Lease or Mortgaged Property shall be applied by the Property Manager (or the Indenture Trustee based on the instructions of the Property Manager if the Property Manager is Spirit Realty) to either (i) permit an Issuer to acquire (or to acquire on behalf of an Issuer) Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans or Qualified Substitute Mortgaged Properties within twelve months following the release of the applicable Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property (in the event that such amounts were received in connection with such a release) or following the receipt of such amounts (in the event that such amounts were received in connection with a Balloon Payment or Principal Prepayment, as applicable) and or (ii) after such twelve-month period concludes with respect to the applicable amounts (or, if the Property Manager elects, prior to the conclusion of such twelve-month period) be deposited as Unscheduled Proceeds into the Collection Account and included in the Available Amount on the Payment Date relating to the Collection Period in which such deposit occurs. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Early Amortization Event or a Series Post ARD Event, all amounts in the Release Account (and all amounts that otherwise would have been deposited into the Release Account) shall be deposited as Unscheduled Proceeds into the Collection Account and will be included in the Available Amount on the Payment Date relating to the Collection Period in which such deposit occurs.
Section 3.06.    Investment of Funds in the Collection Account and the Release Account.
(a)    The Property Manager shall direct any institution maintaining the Collection Account to invest the funds held therein in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date relating to the Payment Date for which such funds will constitute Available Amounts, which may be in the form of a standing direction.
(b)    The Property Manager may direct any institution maintaining the Release Account to invest the funds held therein in one or more specific Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the day such amounts are required to be distributed pursuant to Section 3.05(b), which may be in the form of a standing direction.
(c)    The Property Manager may direct any institution maintaining the Servicing Accounts with respect to Lease Security Deposits to invest the funds held therein in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the day such amounts are required to be distributed pursuant to the related Lease and this Agreement, which may be in the form of a standing direction.
(d)    [Reserved]
(e)    All Permitted Investments in the Collection Account, the Release Account and the Servicing Accounts shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in the Collection Account, the Release Account and the Servicing Accounts shall be made in the name of the Indenture Trustee (in its capacity as such). The Property Manager shall promptly deliver to the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall maintain continuous possession of, any Permitted Investment that is either (i) a “certificated security,” as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code, or (ii) other property in which the lack of possession of such property could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Noteholders’ interest in such property. If amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, the Release Account or the Servicing Accounts are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Property Manager shall:
(i)    consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature thereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(ii)    demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by the Property Manager that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Collection Account, the Release Account or the Servicing Accounts, as applicable.
(f)    Interest and investment income realized on funds deposited in the Collection Account and, if applicable, the Release Account, that constitute part of the Available Amount for any Collection Period, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, shall be added to the Available Amount for such Collection Period and distributed in accordance with Section 2.11 of the Indenture on the applicable Payment Date. Notwithstanding the investment of funds held in the Collection Account, for purposes of the calculations hereunder, including the calculation of the Available Amount, the amounts so invested shall be deemed to remain on deposit in the Collection Account. Except as provided in Section 5.03(a), the Property Manager shall have no liability for any investment of funds in the Collection Account, the Release Account or Servicing Account.
(g)    Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Property Manager may take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
Section 3.07.    Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.
(a)    The Property Manager (other than with respect to Specially Serviced Assets) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Assets) shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Obligor to maintain for each Mortgaged Property all insurance coverage as is required under the terms of such Lease or Mortgage Loan, as applicable (including for the avoidance of doubt, any Environmental Policy); provided, that if and to the extent that any such Lease or Mortgage Loan permits the lessor thereunder any discretion (by way of consent, approval or otherwise) as to the insurance coverage that the related Obligor is required to maintain, the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall exercise such discretion in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard; and provided, further, that, if and to the extent that a Lease or Mortgage Loan so permits, the related Obligor shall be required to obtain the required insurance coverage from Qualified Insurers that have a claims-paying ability rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best’s Key Rating Guide and at least “A” by S&P, which are licensed to do business in the state wherein the related Obligor or the Mortgaged Property subject to the policy, as applicable, is located. If such Obligor does not maintain the required insurance or, with respect to any Environmental Policy in place as of the applicable First Collateral Date, the Property Manager will itself cause such insurance to be maintained with Qualified Insurers meeting such criteria; provided, that the Property Manager shall not be required to maintain such insurance if the Indenture Trustee (as mortgagee of record on behalf of the Noteholders) does not have an insurable interest or the Property Manager has determined (in its reasonable judgment in accordance with the Servicing Standard) that either (i) such insurance is not available at a commercially reasonable rate and the subject hazards are at the time not commonly insured against by prudent owners of properties similar to the Mortgaged Property located in or around the region in which such Mortgaged Property is located or (ii) such insurance is not available at any rate. Subject to Section 3.17(b), the Special Servicer shall also use reasonable efforts to cause to be maintained for each REO Property no less insurance coverage than was previously required of the Obligor under the related Mortgage or Lease and at a minimum, (i) hazard insurance with a replacement cost rider and (ii) comprehensive general liability insurance, in each case, in an amount customary for the type and geographic location of such REO Property and consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided, that all such insurance shall be obtained from Qualified Insurers that, if they are providing casualty insurance, shall have a claims-paying ability rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best’s Key Rating Guide and “A” by S&P. The cost of any such insurance coverage obtained by either the Property Manager or the Special Servicer shall be a Property Protection Advance to be paid by the Property Manager. All such insurance policies shall contain (if they insure against loss to property) a “standard” mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the Property Manager, as agent of and for the account of the applicable Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, and shall be issued by an insurer authorized under applicable law to issue such insurance. Any amounts collected by the Property Manager or the Special Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or amounts to be released to the related Tenant, in each case in accordance with the Servicing Standard) shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 2.11 of the Indenture.
(b)    The Property Manager or Special Servicer may satisfy its obligations under Section 3.07(a) by obtaining, maintaining or causing to be maintained a blanket or forced place insurance policy. If applicable, the Property Manager or the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be obtained and maintained on behalf of each applicable Issuer, a master forced place insurance policy or a blanket policy (or an endorsement to an existing policy) insuring against hazard losses (not otherwise insured by a Tenant or Borrower due to a default by such Tenant or Borrower under the insurance covenants of its Lease or Mortgage Loan or because a Tenant or Borrower permitted to self-insure fails to pay for casualty losses) on the applicable Mortgaged Properties that it is required to service and administer, which policy shall (i) be obtained from a Qualified Insurer having a claims-paying ability rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best’s Key Rating Guide and at least “A” by S&P, and (ii) provide protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required under Section 3.07(a). The Property Manager and the Special Servicer shall bear the cost of any premium payable in respect of any such blanket policy (other than blanket policies specifically obtained for Mortgaged Properties or REO Properties) without right of reimbursement; provided, that if the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, causes any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by such blanket policy in order to satisfy such obligations, the incremental costs of such insurance applicable to such Mortgaged Property or REO Property shall constitute, and be reimbursable as, a Property Protection Advance (it being understood that such incremental costs incurred by the Special Servicer shall be paid by the Property Manager to the Special Servicer and that such payment shall constitute, and be reimbursable as, a Property Protection Advance). If the Property Manager or Special Servicer, as applicable, causes any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by a force-placed insurance policy, the incremental costs of such insurance applicable to such Mortgaged Property or REO Property (which shall not include any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not any Mortgaged Property or REO Property is covered thereby) shall be paid as a Property Protection Advance (it being understood that such incremental costs incurred by the Special Servicer shall be paid by the Property Manager to the Special Servicer and that such payment shall constitute, and be reimbursable as, a Property Protection Advance). Such policy may contain a deductible clause (not in excess of a customary amount) in which case the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as appropriate, shall, if there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a hazard insurance policy complying with the requirements of Section 3.07(a) and there shall have been one or more losses that would have been covered by such policy, promptly deposit into the Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy in connection with such loss or losses because of such deductible clause. The Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as appropriate, shall prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Indenture Trustee and the applicable Issuer, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Any payments on such policy shall be made to the Property Manager as agent of and for the account of the applicable Issuer, the Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee.
(c)    Each of the Property Manager, the Special Servicer and the Back-Up Manager shall at all times during the term of this Agreement (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, at all times during the term of this Agreement in which Specially Serviced Assets exist as part of the Collateral) keep in force with a Qualified Insurer having a claims paying ability rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best’s Key Rating Guide and at least “A” by S&P, a fidelity bond in such form and amount as does not adversely affect any rating assigned by any Rating Agency to the Notes; provided, that, unless any Rating Agency then rating any Notes at the request of an Issuer states that the form or amount of any such fidelity bond would be the sole cause of or be a material reason for a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of any rating then assigned by such Rating Agency to such Notes, the form and amount of such fidelity bond shall be deemed to not adversely affect any rating assigned by any Rating Agency to the Notes. Each of the Property Manager and the Special Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing provision if an Affiliate thereof has such fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. Such fidelity bond shall provide that it may not be canceled without ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Issuers.
Each of the Property Manager, the Special Servicer and the Back-Up Manager shall at all times during the term of this Agreement (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, at all times during the term of this Agreement in which Specially Serviced Assets exist as part of the Collateral) also keep in force with a Qualified Insurer having a claims-paying ability rated at least “A: VIII” by A.M. Best’s Key Rating Guide and at least “A” by S&P, a policy or policies of insurance covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of its officers, employees and agents in connection with its servicing obligations hereunder, which policy or policies shall name the Indenture Trustee as an additional insured and shall be in such form and amount as does not adversely affect any rating assigned by any Rating Agency to the Notes; provided, that, unless any Rating Agency then rating any Notes at the request of an Issuer states that the form or amount of any such fidelity bond would be the sole cause of or be a material reason for a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of any rating then assigned by such Rating Agency to such Notes, the form and amount of such fidelity bond shall be deemed to not adversely affect any rating assigned by any Rating Agency to the Notes. Each of the Property Manager and the Special Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing provisions if an Affiliate thereof has such insurance and, by the terms of such policy or policies, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. Any such errors and omissions policy shall provide that it may not be canceled without ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Issuers.
Each of the Property Manager and the Special Servicer shall at all times during the term of this Agreement (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, at all times during the term of this Agreement in which Specially Serviced Assets exist as part of the Collateral) also, on behalf of the Issuers, keep in force with a Qualified Insurer having a claims-paying ability rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best’s Key Rating Guide and at least “A” by S&P, a lessor’s general liability insurance policy or policies, which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount as does not adversely affect any rating assigned by any Rating Agency to the Notes; provided, that, unless any Rating Agency then rating any Notes at the request of an Issuer states that the form or amount of any such fidelity bond would be the sole cause of or be a material reason for a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of any rating then assigned by such Rating Agency to such Notes, the form and amount of such fidelity bond shall be deemed to not adversely affect any rating assigned by any Rating Agency to the Notes. Any such general liability insurance policy shall provide that it may not be canceled without ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Issuers and the Indenture Trustee. Any payments on such policy shall be made to the Property Manager as agent of and for the account of any applicable Issuer and the Indenture Trustee.
The insurance described in this clause (c) shall be required to include coverage in respect of losses that may be sustained as a result of an officer’s or employee’s of the Property Manager or the Special Servicer misappropriation of funds and errors and omissions.
If the Property Manager (or its corporate parent), the Special Servicer (or its corporate parent) or the Back-Up Manager (or its corporate parent), as applicable, are rated not lower than “A2” by Xxxxx’x, “A” by S&P and “A” by Fitch, the Property Manager, the Special Servicer or the Back-Up Manager, as applicable, may self-insure with respect to any insurance coverage or fidelity bond coverage required hereunder, in which case it shall not be required to maintain an insurance policy with respect to such coverage; provided, that Spirit Realty may not self-insure with respect to any such insurance coverage or fidelity bond.
Section 3.08.    Enforcement of Alienation Clauses; Consent to Assignment.
With respect to those Leases and Mortgage Loans it is obligated to service hereunder, each of the Property Manager and the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Issuers and the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, shall enforce the restrictions contained in the related Lease and Mortgage Loans or in any other document in the related Lease File or Loan File on transfers or further encumbrances of the related Mortgaged Property and Mortgage Loan and on transfers of interests in the related Borrower or Tenant, unless it has determined, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that waiver of such restrictions would be in accordance with the Servicing Standard. After having made any such determination, the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee (and the Property Manager in the case of the Special Servicer) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the basis for such determination. In connection with any assignment or sublet by a Tenant of its interest under a Lease, the applicable Issuer shall not take any action to release such Tenant from its obligations under such Lease unless a new Tenant approved by such Issuer assumes the obligations under such Lease and any applicable requirements set forth in the applicable Lease have been satisfied.
Section 3.09.    Realization Upon Specially Serviced Assets.
(a)    If the Special Servicer has determined, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, that any material default related to a Specially Serviced Asset will not be cured by the related Obligor, the Special Servicer will be required to evaluate the possible alternatives available in accordance with the Servicing Standard and this Agreement with respect to such Specially Serviced Asset. Such alternatives may include, among other things, modification or restructuring of the related Mortgage Loan or Lease, sale or exchange of the related Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property in accordance with Section 3.18 or the enforcement of remedies available under the related Mortgage Loan or Lease in accordance with Section 3.19, including foreclosure of the Mortgage Loan or eviction of the Tenant, as applicable, and the re-leasing of the related Mortgaged Property. Subject to all other provisions and limitations set forth herein, the Special Servicer shall take such actions with respect to each Specially Serviced Asset as it determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard, acting in the best interests of the applicable Issuer and the Noteholders. If the Property Manager re-leases any Mortgaged Property, the Property Manager shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuers an amended Exhibit A-1 reflecting the addition of such Lease to the Collateral Pool.
(b)    Upon the request of the Special Servicer, the Property Manager shall pay, as Property Protection Advances or Emergency Property Expenses, as applicable, in accordance with Section 3.17(c), all costs and expenses (other than costs or expenses that would, if incurred, constitute a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance) incurred in connection with each Specially Serviced Asset, and shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor as provided herein and in Section 2.11 of the Indenture. If and when the Property Manager or the Special Servicer deems it necessary and prudent for purposes of establishing the Fair Market Value of any Mortgaged Property related to a Specially Serviced Asset, the Special Servicer or the Property Manager; as the case may be, is authorized to have an appraisal done by an Independent MAI-designated appraiser or other expert (the cost of which appraisal shall be paid by the Property Manager and shall constitute a Property Protection Advance).
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Property Manager nor the Special Servicer shall, on behalf of the applicable Issuer, obtain title to a Mortgaged Property that secures a Mortgage Loan by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or take any other action with respect to any Mortgaged Property that secures a Mortgage Loan, if, as a result of any such action, the applicable Issuer or the Indenture Trustee could, in the reasonable judgment of the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, made in accordance with the Servicing Standard and which shall be based on Opinions of Counsel (of which the Indenture Trustee shall be an addressee), be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of CERCLA or any comparable law, unless:
(i) the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on (x) a Phase I Environmental Assessment or comparable environmental assessment (and any additional environmental testing, investigation or analysis that the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as applicable, deems necessary and prudent) of such Mortgaged Property conducted by an Independent Person who regularly conducts such environmental testing, investigation or analysis, or (y) any environmental testing, investigation and/or analysis conducted in connection with any related Environmental Policy, and performed during the twelve-month period preceding any such acquisition of title or other action and in each case after consultation with an environmental expert, that:
(A)    the Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations or, if not, that it would maximize the recovery to the applicable Issuer on a present value basis (the relevant discounting of anticipated collections to be performed at the relevant interest rate for the applicable Mortgage Loan or the capitalization rate used in respect of the Lease for any Mortgaged Property) to acquire title to or possession of the Mortgaged Property and to effect such compliance, which determination shall take into account any coverage afforded under any related Environmental Policy with respect to such Mortgaged Property; and
(B)    there are no circumstances or conditions present at the Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of Hazardous Materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any currently applicable environmental laws and regulations or, if such circumstances or conditions are present for which any such action could reasonably be expected to be required, that it would maximize the recovery to the applicable Issuer on a present value basis (the relevant discounting of anticipated collections to be performed at the relevant interest rate for the applicable Mortgage Loan or the capitalization rate used in respect of the Lease for any Mortgaged Property) to acquire title to or possession of the Mortgaged Property and to take such actions, which determination shall take into account any coverage afforded under any related Environmental Policy with respect to such Mortgaged Property; and
(ii) if the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has determined that the Mortgaged Property is not in compliance with applicable environmental laws or regulations (and that acquiring title to or possession of the Mortgaged Property and taking the other actions described in clause (i)(A) above would not maximize the recovery to the applicable Issuer as described in clause (i)(A)), or that any such circumstances or conditions described in clause (i)(B) above are present at the Mortgaged Property, it shall have notified the Indenture Trustee in writing that it has determined that the applicable Issuer or the Indenture Trustee could not reasonably be considered to be a potentially responsible party (which determination may be based on an Opinion of Counsel the cost of which shall be a Property Protection Advance).
(d)    Any such determination in clauses (c)(i) or (c)(ii) above by the Property Manager or the Special Servicer shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate to such effect delivered to the Indenture Trustee (which the Indenture Trustee shall provide to the Noteholders), the Issuers and, in the case of the Special Servicer, the Property Manager, specifying all of the bases for such determination, such Officer’s Certificate to be accompanied by all related environmental reports. The Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as appropriate, shall undertake reasonable efforts to make the determination referred to in clause (ii) immediately above, and may conclusively rely on any related environmental assessments referred to above in making such determination. The cost of any opinions, testing, analysis and investigation and any remedial, corrective or other action contemplated by clause (c) above, shall be reimbursed, to the extent not paid by an Environmental Insurer or other party with liability for such amounts, to the Property Manager from the Collection Account as a Property Protection Advance, subject to Section 5.03.
(e)    If the Property Manager or Special Servicer, as applicable, determines (in accordance with Section 3.09(c)) that any of the conditions set forth in Section 3.09(c)(i) or (ii) above have not been satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged Property, the Property Manager or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall take such action as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard and, at such time as it deems appropriate, may, on behalf of the applicable Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, release all or a portion of such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage; provided, that prior to the release of all or a portion of the related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, (i) the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have notified the Indenture Trustee in writing of its intention to so release all or a portion of such Mortgaged Property and (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall have notified the Noteholders in writing of the intention to so release all or a portion of such Mortgaged Property. The Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be provided to it by the Property Manager and are reasonably necessary to release any lien on or security interest in such Mortgaged Property.
(f)    The Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall report to the Indenture Trustee and the Property Manager (if applicable) monthly in writing as to any actions taken by such party with respect to any Mortgaged Property as to which the environmental testing contemplated in Section 3.09(c) has revealed that any of the conditions set forth in either Section 3.09(c)(i)(A) or (i)(B) have not been satisfied, in each case until such matter has been resolved.
(g)    The Special Servicer shall have the right to determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the advisability of seeking to obtain a deficiency judgment if the state in which the Collateral securing a Specially Serviced Loan is located and the terms of the Mortgage Loan permit such an action and shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, seek such deficiency judgment if it deems advisable.
(h)    The Special Servicer shall prepare and file the reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and the information returns relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property required by Sections 6050J and 6050P of the Code and promptly deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such reports have been filed. Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by Sections 6050J and 6050P of the Code.
(i)    All sales of Mortgaged Properties pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.18 and Article VII as applicable.
Section 3.10.    Issuers, Custodian and Indenture Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Lease Files and Loan Files.
(a)    If from time to time, and as appropriate for servicing of any Mortgage Loan, Lease, assumption of a Lease, modification of a Lease or the re-lease or sale of any Mortgaged Property, the Property Manager or the Special Servicer shall otherwise require the use of any Lease File or Loan File, as applicable (or any portion thereof), the Custodian, upon request of the Property Manager and receipt from the Property Manager of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto signed by a Servicing Officer thereof, or upon request of the Special Servicer and receipt from the Special Servicer of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, shall release such Lease File or Loan File, as applicable (or portion thereof), to the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. Upon return of such Lease File or Loan File, as applicable (or portion thereof), to the Custodian, or upon the Special Servicer’s delivery to the Indenture Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate stating that (i) such Lease or Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and all amounts received or to be received in connection with such Lease or Mortgage Loan are required to be deposited into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) have been or will be so deposited or (ii) such Mortgaged Property has been sold, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released by the Indenture Trustee to the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as applicable.
(b)    Within seven (7) Business Days of the Special Servicer’s request therefor (or, if the Special Servicer notifies the Issuers and the Indenture Trustee of an exigency, within such shorter period as is reasonable under the circumstances), each of the applicable Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Special Servicer, in the form supplied to the applicable Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by the Special Servicer, any court pleadings, leases, sale documents or other documents reasonably necessary to the re-lease, foreclosure or sale in respect of any Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Obligor on the related Lease or Mortgage Loan or to obtain a judgment against an Obligor, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Lease or Mortgage Loan or otherwise available at law or in equity or to defend any legal action or counterclaim filed against the applicable Issuer, the Property Manager or the Special Servicer; provided, that each of the applicable Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may alternatively execute and deliver to the Special Servicer, in the form supplied to the applicable Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by the Special Servicer, a limited power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit D issued in favor of the Special Servicer and empowering the Special Servicer to execute and deliver any or all of such pleadings, leases, sale documents or other documents on behalf of the applicable Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be; provided, however, that neither the applicable Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee shall be held liable for any misuse of such power of attorney by the Special Servicer. Together with such pleadings, leases, sale documents or documents (or such power of attorney empowering the Special Servicer to execute the same on behalf of the applicable Issuer and the Indenture Trustee), the Special Servicer shall deliver to each of the applicable Issuer and the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate requesting that such pleadings, leases, sale documents or other documents (or such power of attorney empowering the Special Servicer to execute the same on behalf of the applicable Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be) be executed by the applicable Issuer or the Indenture Trustee and certifying as to the reason such pleadings or documents are required.
(c)    Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Property Manager of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Property Manager shall promptly notify the Custodian and the Indenture Trustee by a certification (which certification shall be in the form of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, shall be accompanied by the form of any necessary release or discharge and shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer (a copy of which certification shall be delivered to the Special Servicer) and shall request delivery to it and release of the related Loan File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Custodian shall promptly cause the release of the related Loan File to the Property Manager and the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Property Manager such release or discharge, duly executed. Except customary fees and expenses, no expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account or other amounts that constitute Collateral.
Section 3.11.    Servicing Compensation; Interest on Property Protection Advances.
(a)    As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Property Manager shall be entitled to receive the Property Management Fee with respect to each Mortgaged Property and Mortgage Loan included in the Collateral Pool. As to each such Mortgaged Property and Mortgage Loan included in the Collateral Pool, the Property Management Fee shall accrue daily at the related Property Management Fee Rate on the basis of the Collateral Value of each such Mortgaged Property and Mortgage Loan and shall be calculated with respect to each Mortgage Loan on the same basis as interest accrues on such Mortgage Loan and with respect to each Mortgaged Property on a 30/360 Basis. The right to receive the Property Management Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Property Manager’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. Earned but unpaid Property Management Fees shall be payable monthly out of general collections on deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 and Section 2.11 of the Indenture.
(b)    On each Remittance Date, the Property Manager shall be entitled to receive: (i) all returned check fees, assumption, modification and similar fees and late payment charges from Obligors with respect to Mortgaged Properties, Leases and Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Assets as of such Remittance Date; and (ii) any default interest collected on a Mortgaged Property, Lease or Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent that (x) such default interest is allocable to the period (not to exceed 60 days) when such Mortgaged Property, Lease or Mortgage Loan did not constitute a Specially Serviced Asset and (y) such default interest is not allocable to reimburse the Property Manager, the Back-Up Manager or the Indenture Trustee with respect to any Property Protection Advances or interest thereon made in respect of such Mortgage Loan, Lease or Mortgaged Property (collectively, the “Property Manager Additional Servicing Compensation”).
(c)    As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Special Servicing Fee with respect to each Specially Serviced Asset. As to each Specially Serviced Asset, the Special Servicing Fee shall accrue daily from time to time at the Special Servicing Fee Rate on the basis of the Collateral Value of such Specially Serviced Asset and shall be calculated with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan on the same basis as interest accrues on such Specially Serviced Loan and with respect to each Mortgaged Property related to a Specially Serviced Lease on a 30/360 Basis. The Special Servicing Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Asset shall (subject to Section 3.20 hereof) cease to accrue if (i) the related Mortgaged Property is sold or exchanged for a Qualified Substitute Mortgaged Property or such Specially Serviced Loan is sold or exchanged for a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, as applicable, or (ii) such Specially Serviced Asset becomes a Corrected Lease or a Corrected Loan, as applicable, or (iii) such Specially Serviced Asset becomes a Liquidated Lease or liquidated Mortgage Loan, as applicable. Earned but unpaid Special Servicing Fees shall be payable monthly out of collections on deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof and Section 2.11 of the Indenture.
The Special Servicer’s right to receive the Special Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.
(d)    Subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.11(d), on each Remittance Date, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive: (i) all returned check fees, assumption, modification and similar fees and late payment charges received on or with respect to the Specially Serviced Assets (determined as of the Remittance Date relating to such Payment Date); and (ii) any default interest collected on a Specially Serviced Asset (to the extent that such default interest is not allocable to reimburse the Property Manager, Indenture Trustee or Back-Up Manager with respect to any Property Protection Advances made in respect of the related Mortgage Loan, Lease or Mortgaged Property or interest thereon and such default interest is not allocable to the Property Manager under Section 3.11(b)) as additional servicing compensation (collectively, the “Special Servicer Additional Servicing Compensation”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Special Servicer is terminated at a time when no Servicer Replacement Event existed with respect to the Special Servicer and such Special Servicer was servicing or administering any Specially Serviced Asset as of the date of such termination, and such servicing or administration had been continuing for at least two (2) months, then the terminated Special Servicer will be entitled to 50% of all modification fees earned by its successor with respect to such Specially Serviced Asset during the 12-month period following the date of such termination.
(e)    As and to the extent permitted by Section 2.11 of the Indenture, the Property Manager, Indenture Trustee and the Back-Up Manager, as applicable, shall each be entitled to receive Advance Interest on the amount of each Advance made thereby for so long as such Advance is outstanding. The Property Manager and the Back-Up Manager shall be reimbursed for Property Protection Advances in accordance with Sections 3.03(d) and 3.05(a) and (b), and Section 2.11 of the Indenture.
Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the Property Manager and the Special Servicer shall each be required to pay all ordinary expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities under this Agreement, including fees of any subservicers retained by it. In addition, the Property Manager and the Special Servicer shall not be reimbursed for its own internal costs and expenses and overhead expenses, such as office space expenses, office equipment costs, supply costs or employee salaries or related costs and expenses.
(f)    A Workout Fee shall be payable to the Special Servicer with respect to each Corrected Loan or Corrected Lease. As to each such Corrected Loan or Corrected Lease, the Workout Fee will be payable out of, and shall be calculated by application of the Workout Fee Rate to, each collection of rents, interest (other than Default Interest) and principal (including scheduled payments, prepayments, Balloon Payments and payments at maturity) received on such Corrected Loan or Corrected Lease, as applicable, so long as it remains a Corrected Lease or Corrected Loan; provided, that no Workout Fee shall be payable from, or based upon the receipt of, Liquidation Proceeds collected in connection with (i) the purchase of any Specially Serviced Loan, Mortgaged Property related to any Specially Serviced Lease or REO Property by the Property Manager or the Special Servicer or (ii) the repurchase of any Specially Serviced Loan or Mortgaged Property related to any Specially Serviced Lease by the Originator or Support Provider due to a Collateral Defect within the period provided to the Originator and Support Provider to cure such Collateral Defect. In addition, no Workout Fee shall be payable with respect to any Corrected Loan or Corrected Lease if and to the extent (i) such Mortgage Loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Loan under clause (b) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Loan” or the Lease again becomes a Specially Serviced Lease under clause (b) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Lease” and (ii) no default under the Mortgage Loan or Lease, as applicable, actually occurs, or if such default has occurred, it is remedied within the 60 days provided in such clauses. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, for the avoidance of doubt, a new Workout Fee will become payable if and when a Mortgage Loan or Lease that ceased to be a Corrected Lease or Corrected Loan again becomes a Corrected Lease or Corrected Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated (with or without cause) or resigns with respect to any or all of its servicing duties, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans or Leases that became Corrected Loans or Corrected Leases during the period that it had responsibility for servicing Specially Serviced Assets (and the successor Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees), in each case until the Workout Fee for any such Corrected Loan or Corrected Lease ceases to be payable in accordance with the second preceding sentence. If the Special Servicer is terminated for any reason or resigns as Special Servicer hereunder, and prior to such resignation or termination, any Specially Serviced Asset would have been a Corrected Loan or Corrected Lease but for the related Borrower or Tenant, as applicable, not yet having made three full and consecutive Monthly Payments as provided in the Lease Documents or Loan Documents, then such terminated or resigning Special Servicer shall be entitled to all, and the Successor Special Servicer shall be entitled to none, of the Workout Fee payable in connection with such Specially Serviced Asset after it actually becomes a Corrected Loan or Corrected Lease, as applicable.

(g)    A “Liquidation Fee” shall be payable to the Special Servicer with respect to (i) each Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property repurchased by the related Originator or the Support Provider due to a Collateral Defect if purchased after the applicable cure period, and shall equal the product of (x) the repurchase price with respect to any such repurchase and (y) the Liquidation Fee Rate, (ii) any Specially Serviced Asset as to which the Special Servicer obtains a full, partial or discounted payoff from the related Borrower of a Mortgage Loan or for some or all of the Collateral Value from the Mortgaged Property related to a Lease from the Tenant, and shall equal the product of (x) the amount of any such payoff and (y) the Liquidation Fee Rate, or (iii) any Specially Serviced Asset or REO Property as to which the Special Servicer recovers any Liquidation Proceeds, and shall equal the product of (x) the amount of such Liquidation Proceeds and (y) the Liquidation Fee Rate; provided, that no Liquidation Fee shall be payable from, or based upon the receipt of, Liquidation Proceeds collected in connection with the purchase of any Specially Serviced Loan, Mortgaged Property related to any Specially Serviced Lease or REO Property by the Property Manager or the Special Servicer.

(h)    As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Back-Up Manager shall be entitled to receive the Back-Up Fee with respect to each Mortgaged Property and Mortgage Loan included in the Collateral Pool. As to each such Mortgaged Property and Mortgage Loan included in the Collateral Pool, the Back-Up Fee shall accrue each day at the related Back-Up Fee Rate on the basis of the Collateral Value of each such Mortgaged Property and Mortgage Loan. The right to receive the Back-Up Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Back-Up Manager’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. Earned but unpaid Back-Up Fees shall be payable monthly pursuant to Section 3.05(a) and Section 2.11 of the Indenture.

Section 3.12.    Property Inspections; Collection of Financial Statements; Delivery of Certain Reports.
(a)    If a Lease or Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Asset, the Special Servicer shall perform a physical inspection of the related Mortgaged Property as soon as practicable thereafter and, if such Lease or Mortgage Loan remains a Specially Serviced Asset for more than two years, at least annually thereafter so long as such Lease or Mortgage Loan remains a Specially Serviced Asset. The Special Servicer shall prepare a written report of each such inspection performed by it that sets forth in detail the condition of the related Mortgaged Property and that specifies the existence of (i) any sale, abandonment or transfer of such Mortgaged Property, or (ii) any change in the condition or value of such Mortgaged Property that it, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, considers material. The Special Servicer shall deliver to the Issuers, the Indenture Trustee, the Property Manager and the Rating Agencies a copy of each such written report prepared by it within 15 days of the completion of each such inspection.

(b)    The Special Servicer, in the case of any Specially Serviced Asset, and the Property Manager, in the case of all other Leases and Mortgage Loans, shall make reasonable efforts to collect promptly from each related Obligor and review annual operating statements of the related Mortgaged Properties and financial statements of such Obligor required to be provided under the applicable Mortgage Loan or Lease.

Each of the Property Manager and the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Issuers, to the Indenture Trustee and, in the case of the Special Servicer, to the Property Manager, as soon as available, and in any event by the 15th day after each March 31 of each year (or the next succeeding Business Day if any such day is not a Business Day) beginning in March 2014, an Officer’s Certificate stating, as to each officer signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, during the prior calendar year, and of its performance under this Agreement, has been made under the supervision of the signatories signing such Officer’s Certificate, and (ii) to the best of such signatory’s knowledge, based on such review, the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, complied in all material respects throughout such period with the minimum servicing standards in this Agreement and fulfilled in all material respects throughout such period its obligations under this Agreement or, if there was noncompliance with such standards or a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation in any material respect, such Officer’s Certificate shall include a description of such noncompliance or specify each such default, as the case may be, known to such signatory and the nature and status thereof.
Section 3.14.    Reports by Independent Public Accountants.
On or before March 31 of each year, beginning in March 2014, each of the Property Manager and the Special Servicer, at its expense, shall cause an independent, registered public accounting firm (which may also render other services to the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as the case may be) to furnish to the Issuers and the Indenture Trustee and, in the case of the Special Servicer, to the Property Manager a report containing such firm’s opinion that, on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm substantially in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the officer’s assertion made pursuant to Section 3.13 by the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is fairly stated in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications that, in the opinion of such firm, such institute’s standards require it to report and that such examination included tests in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, to the extent the procedures in such program are applicable to the servicing obligations set forth in this Agreement. In rendering such statement, such firm may rely, as to matters relating to direct servicing of leases and mortgage loans by Sub-Managers, upon comparable reports for examinations conducted substantially in accordance with such institute’s standards (rendered within one year of such report) of independent public accountants with respect to the related Sub-Manager.
Section 3.15.    Access to Certain Information; Delivery of Certain Information.
(a)    Each of the Property Manager and the Special Servicer shall afford to the other, to the Issuers, the Indenture Trustee, the Back-Up Manager and the Rating Agencies and to the OTS, the FDIC and any other banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any holder of Notes or LLC Interests, reasonable access to any documentation regarding the Leases, Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Properties and its servicing thereof within its control, except to the extent it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law, rule or regulation or contract or to the extent such information is subject to a privilege under applicable law.

(b)    At any time that a Mortgaged Property is not subject to a Mortgage Loan or a Lease or is subject to a Mortgage Loan or a Lease that is (or relates to) a Defaulted Asset or with respect to an REO Property, the Special Servicer’s decision as to how such Mortgaged Property or REO Property shall be managed and operated shall be based on the good faith and reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer as to the best interest of the applicable Issuer and the Noteholders by maximizing (to the extent commercially feasible) the net after-tax revenues received by the applicable Issuer with respect to such property and, to the extent consistent with the foregoing, in the same manner as would commercial loan and lease servicers and asset managers operating property comparable to the respective Mortgaged Property or REO Property under the Servicing Standard. The applicable Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Special Servicer may consult with counsel at the expense of the applicable Issuer in connection with determinations required under this Section 3.17(b). Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Special Servicer shall be liable to the Issuers, the holders of the Notes, the other parties hereto or each other, nor shall the applicable Issuer be liable to the other Issuers, any such holders or to the other parties hereto, for errors in judgment made in good faith in the exercise of their discretion while performing their respective duties, obligations and responsibilities under this Section 3.17(b). Nothing in this Section 3.17(b) is intended to prevent the sale or re-lease of a Mortgaged Property or REO Property pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of Section 3.18 and Article VII, as applicable.
(c)    The Special Servicer shall have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection with the servicing and administration of any Defaulted Asset and Mortgaged Property subject to a Defaulted Asset and any REO Property as are consistent with the Servicing Standard and, consistent therewith, shall request that the Property Manager make, and the Property Manager shall make, Property Protection Advances, or pay (or cause to be paid) Emergency Property Expenses from funds on deposit in the Collection Account, necessary for the proper operation, management, maintenance and disposition of such Mortgaged Property or REO Property, including:
(i)
all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such Mortgaged Property or REO Property;
(ii)
all real estate and personal property taxes and assessments in respect of such Mortgaged Property or REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon (including taxes or other amounts that could constitute liens prior to or on parity with the lien of the related Mortgage);
(iii)
[Reserved]; and
(iv)
all costs and expenses necessary to maintain, lease, sell, protect, manage, operate and restore such Mortgaged Property or REO Property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Property Manager shall have no obligation to make any such Property Protection Advance if (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the applicable Issuer and the Indenture Trustee) the Property Manager determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such payment would be a Nonrecoverable Property Protection Advance. The Special Servicer shall submit requests to make Property Protection Advances to the Property Manager not more than once per month unless the Special Servicer determines on an emergency basis in accordance with the Servicing Standard that earlier payment is required to protect the interests of the Issuers and the Noteholders.
Section 3.18.    Sale and Exchange of Mortgage Loans, Leases and Mortgaged Properties.
(a)    The Property Manager, the Special Servicer and the applicable Issuer may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, a Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property only on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.18 or as otherwise expressly provided in or contemplated hereunder. Except with respect to repurchases or substitutions by a related Originator or the Support Provider due to a Collateral Defect, an Issuer may only sell or exchange a Mortgaged Property or Mortgage Loan to or with any of its Affiliates subject to the applicable conditions (if any) set forth in the Indenture (including any applicable Series Supplement) and herein.
(b)    The Property Manager shall act on behalf of the applicable Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Asset, Lease related to a Defaulted Asset or REO Property and the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. The Special Servicer shall take such actions in connection with the sale of any such Defaulted Asset, Lease related to a Defaulted Asset, or REO Property as it determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard will be in the best interests of the applicable Issuer and the Noteholders. Any sale of a Mortgage Loan, Mortgaged Property, Lease, Defaulted Asset or REO Property shall be free and clear of the lien of the Indenture and shall be final and without recourse to the applicable Issuer or the Indenture Trustee. If such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Property Manager, the Special Servicer or the Indenture Trustee shall have any liability to the Issuers or any holder of Notes with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Property Manager, the Special Servicer or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be.
Section 3.19.    Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents.
(a)    The Property Manager and the Special Servicer each may, consistent with the Servicing Standard, agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, forgive any payment on, permit the release of the Obligor on or guarantor of, or approve of the assignment of a Tenant's interest in its Lease with respect to, or the sublease of all or a portion of, any Mortgaged Property, Lease or Mortgage Loan it is required to service and administer hereunder, without the consent of the Issuers, the Indenture Trustee, any holder of Notes or any Controlling Party or Requisite Global Majority; provided; that (i) in the reasonable judgment of the party agreeing to any such amendment, such amendment will not cause the Current Cashflow Coverage Ratio to be reduced to or below 1.30 or, if the Current Cashflow Coverage Ratio is already equal to or lower than 1.30, will not cause the Current Cashflow Coverage Ratio to be further reduced and (ii) in the reasonable judgment of the party agreeing to any such amendment, such amendment is in the best interest of the Noteholders and will not have an adverse effect on the Collateral Value of the related Mortgaged Property (in the case of any such amendment with respect to a Lease) or Mortgage Loan (in the case of any such amendment with respect to a Mortgage Loan); provided; that any such amendment (x) in connection with a Delinquent Asset or Defaulted Asset, (y) that is required by the terms of the applicable Lease or Mortgage Loan or (z) with respect to which the Affirmative Rating Condition is satisfied, shall not be subject to the foregoing restrictions set forth in (i) or (ii) above;
(b)    [Reserved];
(c)    The Property Manager and the Special Servicer each may, as a condition to its granting any request by an Obligor for consent, modification, waiver or indulgence or any other matter or thing, the granting of which is within the Property Manager’s or Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, discretion pursuant to the terms of the instruments evidencing or securing the related Lease or Mortgage Loan and is permitted by the terms of such Lease or Mortgage Loan, require that such Obligor pay to it, as Additional Servicing Fees, a reasonable or customary fee for the additional services performed in connection with such request, together with any related costs and expenses incurred by it; and
(d)    All modifications, waivers, amendments and other actions entered into or taken in respect of a Lease or Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.19 shall be in writing. Each of the Property Manager and the Special Servicer shall notify the other such party and the Issuers and the Indenture Trustee, in writing, of any modification, waiver, amendment or other action entered into or taken in respect of any Lease or Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.19 and the date thereof, and shall deliver to the Custodian for deposit in the related Lease File or Loan File an original counterpart of the agreements relating to such modification, waiver, amendment or other action, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) following the execution thereof.

Section 3.20.    Transfer of Servicing Between Property Manager and Special Servicer; Record Keeping.
(a)    Upon determining that a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred with respect to any Lease or Mortgage Loan and if the Property Manager is not also the Special Servicer, the Property Manager shall immediately give notice thereof, and shall deliver the related Servicing File, to the Special Servicer, and shall use its best efforts to provide the Special Servicer with all information, documents (or copies thereof) and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to such Lease or Mortgage Loan reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to assume its functions hereunder with respect thereto without acting through a Sub-Manager. The Property Manager shall use its best efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence of each related Servicing Transfer Event.
Upon determining that a Specially Serviced Asset has become a Corrected Lease or Corrected Loan and if the Property Manager is not also the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall immediately give notice thereof, and shall return the related Servicing File, to the Property Manager and, upon giving such notice and returning such Servicing File, to the Property Manager, (i) the Special Servicer’s obligation to service such Corrected Lease or Corrected Loan shall terminate, (ii) the Special Servicer’s right to receive the Special Servicing Fee with respect to such Corrected Lease or Corrected Loan shall terminate, and (iii) the obligations of the Property Manager to service and administer such Lease or Mortgage Loan shall resume, in each case, effective as of the first day of the calendar month following the calendar month in which such notice was delivered and return effected.
(b)    In servicing any Specially Serviced Assets, the Special Servicer shall provide to the Custodian, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, originals of documents included within the definition of “Lease File” for inclusion in the related Lease File and “Loan File” for inclusion in the related Loan File (with a copy of each such original to the Property Manager), and copies of any additional related Lease and Mortgage Loan information, including correspondence with the related Obligor.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Property Manager and the Special Servicer are the same Person, all notices, certificates, information and consents required to be given by the Property Manager to the Special Servicer or vice versa shall be deemed to be given without the necessity of any action on such Person’s part.
Section 3.21.    Sub-Management Agreements.
(a)    The Property Manager and the Special Servicer may enter into Sub-Management Agreements to provide for the performance by third parties of any or all of their respective obligations hereunder; provided, that, in each case, the Sub-Management Agreement: (i) is consistent with this Agreement in all material respects and requires the Sub-Manager to comply with all of the applicable conditions of this Agreement; (ii) provides that if the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall for any reason no longer act in such capacity hereunder (including by reason of a Servicer Replacement Event), any Back-Up Manager, Successor Property Manager or Successor Special Servicer, may thereupon assume all of the rights and, except to the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption, obligations of the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, under such agreement or, alternatively, may (or the Indenture Trustee may) terminate such Sub-Management Agreement without cause and without payment of any penalty or termination fee; (iii) provides that the Issuers, the Back-Up Manager, the Indenture Trustee, the other parties hereto and, as and to the extent provided herein, the third party beneficiaries hereof shall be third party beneficiaries under such agreement, but that (except to the extent the Back-Up Manager or Successor Property Manager or Successor Special Servicer assumes the obligations of the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, under the applicable Sub-Management Agreement as contemplated by the immediately preceding clause (ii) and, in such case, only from the date of such assumption) none of the Issuers, the Indenture Trustee, the Back-Up Manager, any other party hereto, any successor Property Manager or Special Servicer, as the case may be, any holder of Notes or LLC Interests or any other third party beneficiary hereof shall have any duties under such agreement or any liabilities arising therefrom; (iv) permits any purchaser of a Mortgaged Property and any related Lease or Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement to terminate such Sub-Management Agreement with respect to such purchased Mortgaged Property and related Lease or Mortgage Loan at its option and without penalty; (v) does not permit the Sub-Manager to enter into or consent to any modification, waiver or amendment or otherwise take any action on behalf of the Property Manager or Special Servicer, as the case may be, contemplated by Section 3.19 without the written consent of the Property Manager or Special Servicer, as the case may be; and (vi) does not permit the Sub-Manager any rights of indemnification that may be satisfied out of the Collateral (it being understood that any Sub-Manager shall be entitled to recover amounts in respect of Property Protection Advances as described in the following paragraph). In addition, each Sub-Management Agreement entered into by the Property Manager shall provide that such agreement shall terminate with respect to any Lease and the related Mortgaged Property, and any Mortgage Loan serviced thereunder at the time such Lease or Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Asset, and each Sub-Management Agreement entered into by the Special Servicer shall relate only to Specially Serviced Assets and shall terminate with respect to any such Lease or Mortgage Loan that ceases to be a Specially Serviced Asset, in each case pursuant to the terms hereof.
The Property Manager and the Special Servicer shall each deliver to the Issuers and the Indenture Trustee copies of all Sub-Management Agreements, and any amendments thereto and modifications thereof, entered into by it, promptly upon its execution and delivery of such documents. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Property Manager or the Special Servicer include actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Manager on behalf of the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and in connection therewith, all amounts advanced by any Sub-Manager to satisfy the obligations of the Property Manager hereunder to make Advances shall be deemed to have been advanced by the Property Manager out of its own funds and, accordingly, such amounts constituting Advances shall be recoverable by such Sub-Manager in the same manner and out of the same funds as if such Sub-Manager were the Property Manager. For so long as they are outstanding, Advances shall accrue Advance Interest in accordance with the terms hereof, such interest to be allocable between the Property Manager and such Sub-Manager as they may agree. For purposes of this Agreement, the Property Manager and the Special Servicer each shall be deemed to have received any payment, and shall be obligated to handle such payment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, when a Sub-Manager retained by it receives such payment. The Property Manager and the Special Servicer each shall notify the other, the Issuers and the Indenture Trustee in writing promptly of the appointment by it of any Sub-Manager.
(b)    The Property Manager shall have determined to its commercially reasonable satisfaction that each Sub-Manager shall be authorized to transact business, and shall have obtained all necessary licenses and approvals, in each jurisdiction in which the failure to be so authorized or qualified or to have obtained such licenses would adversely affect its ability to carry out its obligations under the Sub-Management Agreement to which it is a party.
(c)    The Property Manager and the Special Servicer, for the benefit of the Issuers, shall (at no expense to the Issuers or the Indenture Trustee) monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of their respective Sub-Managers under the related Sub-Management Agreements. Such enforcement, including the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Management Agreements in accordance with their respective terms and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, would require were it the owner of the Mortgaged Properties and the Mortgage Loans. Subject to the terms of the related Sub-Management Agreement, the Property Manager and the Special Servicer shall each have the right to (in its sole discretion and without the consent of any other person) remove a Sub-Manager retained by it at any time it considers such removal to be in the best interests of the Issuers.
(d)    In the event that the Back-Up Manager has succeeded to the rights and assumed the obligations hereunder, of the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, then the Back-Up Manager shall succeed to the rights and assume the obligations of the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under any Sub-Management Agreement, unless the Indenture Trustee elects to terminate any such Sub-Management Agreement in accordance with its terms. In any event, if a Sub-Management Agreement is to be assumed by the Back-Up Manager, then the predecessor Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as applicable, at its expense, shall, upon request of the Back-Up Manager, deliver to the Back-Up Manager all documents and records relating to such Sub-Management Agreement and the Mortgaged Properties and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected and held on behalf of it thereunder, and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Management Agreement to the assuming party.
(e)    Notwithstanding any Sub-Management Agreement, the Property Manager and the Special Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Issuers, the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee and each other for the performance of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if each alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Mortgaged Properties and Leases for which it is responsible.
(f)    Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, the Property Manager or Special Servicer, as applicable, will be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any Sub‑Manager, irrespective of whether its compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.
(g)    Each of the Property Manager and the Special Servicer shall have all the limitations upon liability and all the indemnities for the actions and omissions of any such Sub-Manager retained by it that it has for its own actions hereunder.

Subject to the following paragraph, the Property Manager and the Special Servicer shall each keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a partnership, corporation, bank or association under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, and each will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign partnership, corporation, bank or association in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Leases and the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
Each of the Property Manager and the Special Servicer may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person, or may transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Property Manager or the Special Servicer is a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, will be the successor Property Manager or the successor Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, and each of the Property Manager and the Special Servicer may transfer any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Person; provided, however, that no such successor, surviving Person or transferee shall succeed to the rights of the Property Manager or the Special Servicer unless the Affirmative Rating Condition is satisfied (unless such successor is an affiliate of the Property Manager or the Special Servicer and the obligations of such successor are guaranteed by the Support Provider under the Property Management Agreement).
Section 5.03.    Limitation on Liability of the Property Manager, the Special Servicer and the Back-Up Manager; Environmental Liabilities.
(a)    None of the Property Manager, the Special Servicer or the Back-Up Manager or any director, partner, member, manager, officer, employee or agent of any such party or Control Person over any of them shall be under any liability to the Issuers, the Indenture Trustee or the holders of the Notes or the LLC Interests or any other Person for any action taken, or not taken, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that none of the Property Manager, the Special Servicer or the Back-Up Manager shall be protected against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of obligations or duties hereunder. The Property Manager and the Special Servicer and the Back-Up Manager (each, an “Applicable Party”) and any director, officer, partner, member, manager, employee or agent of any such person or Control Person of any of them shall be entitled to indemnification by the Issuers, payable, subject to Section 5.04 of the Indenture and pursuant to Section 2.11 of the Indenture, against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with the performance of duties or obligations hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or in connection with any legal action that relates to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided, however, that such indemnification shall not extend to any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of obligations or duties under this Agreement. Each Applicable Party shall indemnify the Issuers, the Indenture Trustee and the Collateral Agent and any director, officer, employee, agent or Control Person of any of them against any loss, liability or expense resulting from the misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of such Applicable Party’s duties or obligations under this Agreement.

Section 5.04.    Term of Service; Property Manager and Special Servicer Not to Resign.
Subject to (and without limiting) Section 5.02, hereof, neither the Property Manager nor the Special Servicer shall resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it, except upon determination that the performance of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it, such other activities causing such a conflict being of a type and nature carried on by the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, at the date of this Agreement. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect that shall be delivered to the Issuers and the Indenture Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Back-Up Manager or another successor shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the resigning party hereunder. If within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date of such determination, no successor shall have assumed the applicable responsibilities and obligations of the resigning party, such Property Manager or Special Servicer shall be permitted to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of the Property Manager and the Special Servicer may cause all or part of the obligations and duties imposed on it by this Agreement to be assumed by, and may assign part or all of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to, another Person; provided, that (i) the assuming party is an Eligible Successor and (ii) unless the assuming party or assignee is an Affiliate of the Property Manager or Special Servicer whose obligations and duties hereunder are guaranteed by the Support Provider, the Affirmative Rating Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to any such assumption or assignment.

If the Property Manager, Special Servicer or Back-Up Manager shall resign pursuant to this Section 5.04 or be removed pursuant to Section 6.01, then such resigning Property Manager, Special Servicer or Back-Up Manager, as applicable, must pay all reasonable costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its duties and cooperate reasonably with its successor in order to effect such transfer.
Except as provided herein, neither the Property Manager nor the Special Servicer shall assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint, any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by it hereunder, or cause any other Person to assume such duties, covenants or obligations. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, all of the duties and obligations of the Property Manager or the Special Servicer are transferred by an assignment and assumption to a successor thereto, the entire amount of compensation payable to the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, that accrues pursuant hereto from and after the date of such transfer shall be payable to such successor.

The Issuers may, but are not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Property Manager and the Special Servicer hereunder and may, but are not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Property Manager or the Special Servicer hereunder, or, in connection with any such defaulted obligation, exercise the related rights of the Property Manager or the Special Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that neither the Property Manager nor the Special Servicer shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by any such Issuer or its designee. The Issuer shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by or with respect to the Property Manager or the Special Servicer.
Section 5.06.    [Reserved].
Section 5.07.    Property Manager or Special Servicer as Owner of Notes.
The Property Manager or an Affiliate of the Property Manager, or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer, may become the holder of any Notes or any LLC Interests with the same rights (unless otherwise expressly provided in a Transaction Document) as it would have if it were not the Property Manager, the Special Servicer or any such Affiliate. If, at any time during which the Property Manager, the Special Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates is the holder of any Note or LLC Interest, the Property Manager or the Special Servicer proposes to take or omit to take action (i) which action or omission is not expressly prohibited by the terms hereof and would not, in the Property Manager or the Special Servicer’s good faith judgment, violate the Servicing Standard, and (ii) which action, if taken, or omission, if made, might nonetheless, in the Property Manager’s or the Special Servicer’s good faith judgment, be considered by other Persons to violate the Servicing Standard, the Property Manager or the Special Servicer may, but need not, seek the approval of the holders of the Notes and the LLC Interests to such action or omission by delivering to the Issuers and the Indenture Trustee a written notice that (a) states that it is delivered pursuant to this Section 5.07, (b) identifies the portion of Notes and LLC Interests beneficially owned by the Property Manager or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and (c) describes in reasonable detail the action that the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, proposes to take or omit. Upon receipt of such notice, the Issuers shall forward such notice to the applicable holders of the LLC Interests. If, at any time, the Requisite Global Majority separately consent in writing to the proposal described in the such notice, and if the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, takes action and/or omits to take action as proposed in such notice, such action and/or omission will be deemed to comply with the Servicing Standard. It is not the intent of the foregoing provision that the Property Manager or the Special Servicer be permitted to invoke the procedure set forth herein with respect to routine servicing matters arising hereunder, but rather in the case of unusual circumstances.

the Property Manager fails to make any Property Protection Advance or fails to pay (or, in the event the Property Manager is Spirit Realty, fails to direct the Indenture Trustee to pay) any Emergency Property Expenses from funds on deposit in the Collection Account, in each case as required by the Indenture or this Agreement, which failure remains unremedied for three (3) Business Days after the earlier of (x) the date on which notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to such Property Manager by the Indenture Trustee, or to such Property Manager and the Indenture Trustee by the Noteholders holding at least 25% of the Aggregate Series Principal Balance and (y) actual knowledge of such failure by such Property Manager; or
(iv)
either the Property Manager or the Special Servicer fails to comply in any material respect with any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, contained in this Agreement, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been received by the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as applicable (15 days in the case of a failure to pay the premium for any insurance policy required to be maintained pursuant to this Agreement or such fewer days as may be required to avoid the commencement of foreclosure proceedings for unpaid real estate taxes or the lapse of insurance, as applicable); provided, however, that if the failure is capable of being cured and such Property Manager or Special Servicer is diligently pursuing that cure, the 30 day period will be extended for another 30 days; or
(v)
any breach on the part of the Property Manager or the Special Servicer of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Issuers or the Noteholders and that continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which notice of such breach is given to the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as applicable; provided, however, that if the breach is capable of being cured and such Property Manager or Special Servicer is diligently pursuing that cure, the 30 day period will be extended for another 30 days; or
(vi)
(a) the Property Manager or the Special Servicer consents to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar official relating to it or relating to all or substantially all of its assets or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts or takes other actions indicating its insolvency or inability to pay its obligations; or (b) a decree or order of a court having jurisdiction in any involuntary case for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar official in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings is entered against the Property Manager or the Special Servicer and the decree or order remains in force for a period of 60 days; provided, that if any decree or order cannot be discharged, dismissed or stayed within the 60-day period, such Property Manager or Special Servicer will have an addition 30 days to effect the discharge, so long as it commenced proceedings to have the decree or order dismissed within the initial 60-day period and it is continuing to pursue the discharge; or
(vii)
either the Property Manager or Special Servicer assigns any of its obligations to any third party other than as permitted under the Property Management Agreement or any other Transaction Document and does not remedy such breach within five business days of such assignment; or
(viii)
the Property Manager or the Special Servicer fails to observe any material reporting requirements under this Agreement, which failure remains unremedied 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as applicable, by any other party to the Property Management Agreement or the Indenture Trustee; or
(ix)
the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee has received notice in writing from any Rating Agency then rating any Notes at the request of an Issuer citing servicing concerns and stating that the continuation of the Property Manager or the Special Servicer in such capacity would be the sole cause of or be a material reason for a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of any of the ratings then assigned by such Rating Agency to such Notes; or
(x)
the declaration of an Indenture Event of Default; or
(xi)
an Early Amortization Event or Series Post ARD Event occurs and is continuing that is reasonably determined by the Backup Manager (unless the Back-Up Manager is then serving as Property Manager or Special Servicer) or the Requisite Global Majority to be primarily attributable to acts or omissions of the Property Manager or the Special Servicer rather than general market factors (provided that the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event determined to be attributable to the acts or omissions of a Property Manager or Special Servicer that has been replaced shall not cause a Replacement Event with respect to any Successor Property Manager or Successor Special Servicer (including the Back-Up Manager)); or
(xii)
the Property Manager or the Special Servicer has engaged in fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its performance under the Property Management Agreement and such event could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the use, value or operation of the Collateral Pool (taken as a whole), and remains unremedied for 30 days after the Property Manager or the Special Servicer receives written notice thereof.
When a single entity acts as Property Manager and Special Servicer, a Servicer Replacement Event in one such capacity shall constitute a Servicer Replacement Event in each such capacity. In the event that the same entity is serving as both Property Manager and Special Servicer and such entity is terminated hereunder in one such capacity (in accordance with Section 6.01(b)), it shall automatically be terminated in both such capacities. Each of the Property Manager and the Special Servicer will notify the Indenture Trustee in writing of the occurrence of a Servicer Replacement Event or an event that, with the giving of notice or the expiration of any cure period, or both, would constitute a Servicer Replacement Event promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof.
(d)    (i) If any Servicer Replacement Event (other than any Servicer Replacement Event under Sections 6.01(a)(vi)) occurs with respect to the Property Manager or the Special Servicer (in either case, for purposes of this Section 6.01(b), the “Defaulting Party”) of which a responsible officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge shall occur, then the Indenture Trustee shall provide written notice thereof to the Noteholders requesting that the Noteholders (excluding Spirit Realty and its affiliates) direct the removal of the Property Manager and/or Special Servicer or waive such Servicer Replacement Event. In the event that, while such Servicer Replacement Event is continuing, the Requisite Global Majority directs the removal of such Property Manager and/or Special Servicer, as applicable, the Indenture Trustee will terminate such Property Manager or Special Servicer by notice in writing to the Defaulting Party (with a copy of such notice to each other party hereto). For the avoidance of doubt, no such direction may occur in the event that a Servicer Replacement Event is not continuing. Upon the occurrence of any Servicer Replacement Event under Sections 6.01(a)(vi) with respect to any Defaulting Party, such Defaulting Party shall be immediately terminated without any further action on the part of any other person. Following any such termination of a Defaulting Party as described in this Section 6.01(b), the Back-Up Manager shall replace the Defaulting Party as Property Manager and/or Special Servicer, as applicable, subject to and in accordance with Section 6.02(b) and shall have all the rights, duties and obligations of the Property Manager and/or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder until a Successor Property Manager or Successor Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have been appointed. Promptly after any such termination, the Indenture Trustee (acting at the written direction of the Requisite Global Majority) shall appoint a successor property manager (the “Successor Property Manager”) and/or a successor special servicer (the “Successor Special Servicer”) in accordance with Section 6.01(b)(iii), each of which shall serve as and have all the rights, duties and obligations of the Property Manager of the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder; provided, that any Successor Property Manager or Successor Special Servicer must be an Eligible Successor at the time of such appointment. Upon its appointment, the Successor Property Manager or Successor Special Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Property Manager or Special Servicer, as applicable, and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed upon the Property Manager or Special Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, that, no such Successor Special Servicer or Successor Property Manager shall have any liability with respect to any duties or obligations of the terminated Property Manager or Special Servicer, as applicable, accruing prior to the date of such appointment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Replacement Event under Section 6.01(b)(ii) or (iii) occurs as a result of a failure by the Property Manager to make any Advance and the Back-Up Manager makes such Advance, for so long as the Property Manager has not reimbursed the amount of such Advance to the Back-Up Manager, the Back-Up Manager will have the right to immediately terminate the Property Manager (and the Special Servicer, if the Property Manager and the Special Servicer are the same entity) and become the Successor Property Manager (and the Successor Special Servicer, if the Property Manager being replaced and the Special Servicer are the same entity). In any such event, the Back-Up Manager shall be deemed to have been appointed the Successor Property Manager and, if applicable, the Successor Special Servicer hereunder (regardless of whether any of the other conditions of this Section 6.01(b) are satisfied).
(ii)    Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any such appointment of a Successor Property Manager or Successor Special Servicer will be subject to (i) the satisfaction of the Affirmative Rating Condition and (ii) the written agreement of the Successor Property Manager or Successor Special Servicer to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, together with an Opinion of Counsel regarding the enforceability of such agreement. Subject to the foregoing conditions set forth in Section 6.01(b), any person, including any holder of Notes or LLC Interests or any Affiliate thereof, may be appointed as Successor Property Manager or Successor Special Servicer.
(iii)    In the event that a Successor Property Manager or Successor Special Servicer (other than the Back-up Manager), as applicable, has failed to assume all of the duties and obligations of the Defaulting Party as provided in this Agreement within 30 days of written notice of termination to such Defaulting Party (the “Successor Replacement Date”), the Back-Up Manager shall automatically (and without further action and regardless of whether any of the other conditions of this Section 6.01(b) are satisfied) be (and shall have been deemed to have been appointed) the Successor Property Manager or the Successor Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall (at the direction of the Requisite Global Majority) replace the Back-Up Manager acting as Successor Property Manager or Successor Special Servicer without cause upon 30 days written notice and appoint a new Successor Property Manager or Successor Special Servicer specified in such Requisite Global Majority’s direction; provided, that (i) such appointment shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the appointment of a Successor Property Manager or Successor Special Servicer, as applicable, set forth in this Section 6.01(b)(i) and (ii) the Back-Up Manager shall continue serving as Property Manager or Special Servicer, as applicable, until such appointment is effected.
(iv) In the event that a Successor Property Manager or Successor Special Servicer, as applicable, other than the Back-Up Servicer has not been appointed within thirty (30) days of the applicable Successor Replacement Date, the Back-Up Manager may (but shall not be obligated to) direct the Indenture Trustee to appoint (for the avoidance of doubt, subject to the terms and conditions of the appointment of a Successor Property Manager or Successor Special Servicer, as applicable, set forth in this Section 6.01(b)(i) and (ii)) a Successor Property Manager or Successor Special Servicer designated by the Back-Up Manager; provided, that the Back-Up Manager will continue serving as Property Manager or Special Servicer, as applicable, until a Successor Property Manager or Successor Special Servicer, as applicable, has been so appointed. If the Back-Up Manager does not direct the Indenture Trustee to appoint a Successor Property Manager or Successor Special Servicer within 60 days of the applicable Successor Replacement Date, then such Back-Up Manager will no longer be permitted to so direct the Indenture Trustee.
(v) Each of the Property Manager and the Special Servicer agrees that, if it is terminated pursuant to this Section 6.01(b), it shall (i) promptly (and in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination) provide the Back-Up Manager or any Successor Property Manager or Successor Special Servicer, as applicable, with all documents and records in accordance with Section 6.02(b), (ii) cooperate with such successor in effecting the termination of the duties, obligations, responsibilities and rights of the Property Manager or Special Servicer hereunder and transferring such duties, obligations and responsibilities to such successor, (including carrying out the actions set forth in Section 6.02) and (iii) in the event that it receives any amounts that constitute Collateral, transfer such amounts to the Property Manager (it being understood that if the Property Manager has been terminated, such amounts shall be transferred to the Successor Property Manager that succeeds such Property Manager) within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof; provided, however, that the Property Manager and the Special Servicer each shall, if terminated pursuant to this Section 6.01(b), continue to be obligated for or entitled to pay or receive all amounts accrued or owing by or to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of Property Protection Advances or otherwise, and it and its directors, officers, employees and agents shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.03(a) notwithstanding any such termination. Any Successor Property Manager or a Successor Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to diligently complete the physical transfer of servicing from the terminated Property Manager or Special Servicer, as applicable, with the cooperation of such Property Manager or Special Servicer.
Section 6.02.    Successor Manager.
(c)    In the event that a Successor Property Manager (including the Back-Up Manager) is appointed, the terminated Property Manager shall arrange for the delivery to the Successor Property Manager of all of the Servicing Files (other than with respect to any Specially Serviced Asset), which Servicing Files shall contain sufficient data to permit the Successor Property Manager to assume the duties of the Property Manager hereunder without delay on account of the absence of relevant servicing information. In the event that a Successor Special Servicer (including the Back-Up Manager) is appointed, the terminated Special Servicer shall arrange for the delivery to the Successor Special Servicer of all of the Servicing Files for any Specially Serviced Asset, which Servicing Files shall contain sufficient data to permit the Successor Special Servicer to assume the duties of the Special Servicer hereunder without delay on account of the absence of relevant servicing information.
(d)    The Issuers, if they determine in their reasonable discretion that enforcement rights and/or remedies are available to the holders of the Notes against the terminated Property Manager or Special Servicer and it is prudent under the circumstances to enforce such rights, agree to enforce their rights under this Agreement against the terminated Property Manager or Special Servicer, including any rights they have to enforce each Defaulting Party’s obligation to fully cooperate in the orderly transfer and transition of servicing and otherwise comply with the terms of this Agreement. In the event that the Successor Special Servicer or Successor Property Manager discovers or becomes aware of any errors in any records or data of the terminated Special Servicer or Property Manager which impairs its ability to perform its duties hereunder, such Successor Property Manager or Successor Special Servicer shall notify the Issuers and the Indenture Trustee in writing of such errors and shall, at such terminated Special Servicer’s or Property Manager’s expense and upon the Issuers’ direction, undertake to correct or reconstruct such records or data.
(e)    From and after the date of this Agreement until the Back-Up Manager becomes the Successor Property Manager, the Property Manager shall (i) provide or cause to be provided to the Back-Up Manager on the 20th day of each month, in electronic form, a complete data tape of the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgaged Property Schedule and such other information as any Issuer may reasonably deem necessary, including all information necessary to determine the Release Price with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property and the original purchase price paid by any Issuer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property and (ii) make available to the Back-Up Manager a copy of each Determination Date Report, Modified Collateral Detail and Realized Loss Report and any Special Servicer Report. The Back-Up Manager will perform an initial comprehensive data integrity review and a monthly review of this information to determine whether it provides adequate information to enable the Back-Up Manager to perform its obligations hereunder as the Back-Up Manager. To the extent that the Back-Up Manager determines within ten (10) calendar days of its receipt of such information that such information is adequate for the Back-Up Manager to perform its obligations as the Back-Up Manager, the Back-Up Manager will provide the Issuers and the Indenture Trustee with written notice to that effect. To the extent that the Back-Up Manager determines within ten (10) calendar days of its receipt of such information that such information is inadequate for the Back-Up Manager to perform its obligations as the Back-Up Manager, the Back-Up Manager will provide prompt written notice to the Issuers and the Property Manager identifying any deficiencies in such information that do not enable the Back-Up Manager to perform its obligations as the Back-Up Manager. The Property Manager shall use its best efforts to provide any such deficient information to the Back-Up Manager within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of such notice from the Back-Up Manager.
(f)    Within ten (10) Business Days of the date of receipt from the Property Manager, the Back-Up Manager shall, in order to understand the purpose of each data field (and the interrelationships among such data fields), review the form of Determination Date Report, Modified Collateral Detail and Realized Loss Report and the Special Servicer Report, each in the form agreed to by the Property Manager and the Back-Up Manager. Provided the data in the Determination Date Report, the Special Servicer Report and the Modified Collateral Detail and Realized Loss Report are in a format readable by the Back-Up Manager, the Back-Up Manager shall create a set of conversion routines and database mapping programs, as necessary, that will enable the Back-Up Manager to (i) receive such data from the Property Manager on a monthly basis and to ensure that the data is readable, and (ii) independently generate such Determination Date Reports and Special Servicer Reports, as applicable, in the event that it is appointed Successor Property Manager or Successor Special Servicer.
(g)    On a monthly basis, the Back-Up Manager shall (x) verify receipt of the Determination Date Report and the Special Servicer Report required to be delivered by the Property Manager, together with any other records and data supplied to the Issuers, Indenture Trustee or otherwise hereunder, by Property Manager with respect to the Mortgage Loans and Leases, and (y) verify that such records and data are in a readable format.
(f)    The Back-Up Manager may resign from its obligations under this Agreement (i) with the consent of the Requisite Global Majority, (ii) upon a determination that the performance of its hereunder duties and obligations are no longer permitted under applicable law or (iii) if the Back-Up Manager identifies a successor back-up manager whose appointment as successor Back-Up Manager satisfies the Affirmative Rating Condition, and in each case a written assumption agreement is executed whereby such successor assumes all rights, duties and obligations of the Back-Up Manager. No such resignation shall become effective a successor shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Back-Up Manager party hereunder.

Section 6.03.    Additional Remedies of the Issuers and the Indenture Trustee upon a Servicer Replacement Event.
During the continuance of any Servicer Replacement Event, so long as such Servicer Replacement Event shall not have been remedied, in addition to the rights specified in Section 6.01, the Issuers shall have the right, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Noteholders (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Servicer Replacement Event.
ARTICLE VII    

TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES OF MORTGAGED PROPERTIES AND MORTGAGE LOANS BY THE APPLICABLE ISSUERS; RELEASE OF MORTGAGED PROPERTIES AND MORTGAGE LOANS BY THE APPLICABLE ISSUERS.
Section 7.01. Released Mortgage Loans and Released Mortgaged Properties.
(a) The applicable Issuers may obtain the release (the “Release”) of Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties (any such Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property, a “Released Mortgage Loan” or “Released Mortgaged Property” as applicable) from the lien of the Indenture in connection with (i) the exercise of a Third Party Purchase Option, (ii) the purchase or substitution of a Delinquent Asset or Defaulted Asset by the Special Servicer or the Property Manager or any assignee thereof, (iii) the repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property by an applicable Cure Party due to a Collateral Defect, (iv) the sale of a Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property to the Support Provider, a third party unaffiliated with Spirit Realty or to a Spirit SPE or (v) the exchange of a Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property with the Support Provider, a third party unaffiliated with Spirit Realty, the Support Provider or a Spirit SPE; provided, however, that in no event shall the applicable Issuer obtain any such release unless, after giving effect to any such Release and any resulting changes to the Collateral Pool, the Indenture Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, no tax gain or loss will be recognized by any Noteholder or any Issuer with respect to any outstanding Series solely as a result of such Release and the resulting changes in the Collateral Pool (the “Tax Required Condition”). In connection with the Release of (i) any Released Mortgaged Property, the related Lease and the related Lease File shall be simultaneously released from the lien of the Indenture or (ii) any Released Mortgage Loan, the related Loan File shall be simultaneously released from the lien of the Indenture. The applicable Issuers shall obtain any Release that it is required to obtain in accordance with the terms hereof.
(b) Except in connection with the release of a Mortgage Loan or a Mortgaged Property in exchange for one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans or one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgaged Properties, the applicable Issuer will be required to obtain the applicable Release Price in order to obtain the Release of a Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property. The “Release Price” for any Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property will be an amount equal to (i) the Third Party Option Price if the release occurs in connection with any Third Party Purchase Option, (ii) with respect to any Delinquent Asset or Defaulted Asset purchased by the Special Servicer or the Property Manager or any assignee thereof the greater of (A) the Fair Market Value thereof and (B) the Allocated Loan Amount thereof as of the First Collateral Date with respect thereto, (iii) the Payoff Amount with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property repurchased by the related Originator or the Support Provider due to a Collateral Defect, (iv) the greater of (A) the Fair Market Value and (B) the sum of 125% of the Allocated Loan Amount thereof as of the First Collateral Date with respect thereto plus unreimbursed Property Protection Advances (plus Advance Interest thereon), Emergency Property Expenses, Extraordinary Expenses, Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees for any Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property sold to the Support Provider, to a third party unaffiliated with Spirit Realty or to a Spirit SPE or (v) the Fair Market Value of any Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property, as applicable, in each case if (X) the Property Manager or the Special Servicer deems the release and sale of such Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property to be in the best interest of the Noteholders and (Y) the Rating Condition is satisfied; provided, that after giving effect to such sale, the aggregate Collateral Value of all Mortgaged Properties (determined as of the First Collateral Date with respect to such Mortgaged Properties) and Mortgage Loans (determined as of the release date with respect to each such Released Mortgage Loan) owned by the Issuer that have been sold to affiliates of the Issuers pursuant to this clause (v) would not exceed, (a) in any twelve month period, 15.0% of the Aggregate Collateral Value as of the most recent Series Closing Date or (b) 35.0% of the Aggregate Collateral Value (determined as of the applicable Starting Closing Date) during the Series Closing Period in which such sale occurs; provided, further, that the Issuers shall only be permitted to sell such Mortgaged Properties and Mortgage Loans pursuant to this clause (v) to its affiliates in the event that the Property Manager or the Special Servicer determines that such sale is reasonably necessary in order to manage the Cashflow Coverage Ratios or compliance with the Maximum Asset Concentrations. In addition, the Issuers shall not acquire any Mortgaged Property or Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 7.01 in the event that, after giving effect to such acquisition, any Property Concentration would exceed the Maximum Asset Concentrations set forth in the Indenture or any Series Supplement and in effect at the time of such acquisition.
In determining the Fair Market Value with respect to any Mortgaged Property or Mortgage Loan, the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall establish a price determined to be the most probable price which such Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. In making any such determination, the Property Manager or Special Servicer, as applicable, (X) may obtain an MAI appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property; provided that in the case of a sale of a Mortgaged Property or Mortgage Loan to an affiliate of the Issuer pursuant to clause (v) of the definition of “Release Price”, the Property Manager or Special Servicer shall obtain such an appraisal and (Y) shall assume the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: (i) buyer and seller are typically motivated; (ii) both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their best interests; (iii) a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market; (iv) payment is made in terms of cash in United States dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and (v) the price represents the normal consideration for such Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale. In making any such determination, the Property Manager or Special Servicer shall take into account, among other factors, the period and amount of the delinquency on such Mortgage Loan or Lease, the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property, the state of the local economy in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and the time and expense associated with a purchaser’s foreclosing on the related Mortgaged Property. In addition, the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall refer to all other relevant information obtained by it or otherwise contained in the related servicing file, taking into account any change in circumstances regarding the related Mortgaged Property known to the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as applicable, that would materially affect the value of the related Mortgaged Property reflected in the most recent related appraisal. Furthermore, the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may consider available objective third party information obtained from generally available sources, as well as information obtained from vendors providing real estate services to the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as applicable, concerning the market for distressed real estate loans and the real estate market for the subject property type in the area where the related Mortgaged Property is located. The Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may also conclusively rely on any opinions or reports of qualified independent experts in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Property Manager or the Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to making a determination of Fair Market Value shall constitute, and be reimbursable as, Property Protection Advances.
(c) Any (i) Release Price (plus sales proceeds in excess thereof (any such excess amount, a “Purchase Premium”)) received by the applicable Issuer in connection with the release of a Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property (other than during a Disposition Period) and (ii) Balloon Payments or Principal Prepayments received in connection with a Mortgage Loan, in each case shall be deposited into the Release Account (or, during the continuance of an Early Amortization Event or a Series Post-ARD Event, the Collection Account).
(d) For the avoidance of doubt, an Issuer may obtain the release of a Mortgage Loan or a Mortgaged Property in exchange for one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans or one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgaged Properties, as applicable, subject to the terms hereof.
(e) (i) After giving effect to any sale or exchange of a Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property, the aggregate Collateral Value of all Released Mortgaged Properties (determined as of the First Collateral Date with respect to each such Released Mortgaged Property) and Released Mortgage Loans (determined as of the release date with respect to each such Released Mortgage Loan) sold or exchanged by any Issuer during the Closing Date Period in which such sale or exchange occurs shall not exceed 35.0% of the Aggregate Collateral Value (determined as of the applicable Starting Closing Date) unless the Affirmative Rating Condition is satisfied; provided that releases and exchanges or substitutions in connection with Collateral Defects, sales pursuant to the exercise of Third Party Purchase Options, sales during the Disposition Period and Risk-Based Substitutions shall not be subject to the foregoing limitation or taken into consideration in determining such aggregate Collateral Values.
(ii) If any of the following criteria are satisfied, the release of a Mortgaged Property in exchange for one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgaged Properties or, solely in the case of clause (d) below, the release of a Mortgage Loan in exchange for one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans or Qualified Substitute Mortgaged Properties will constitute a “Risk-Based Substitution”: (a) the remaining term to maturity of the related Lease is less than three years from the date of the proposed substitution and the Property Manager, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, determines that there is a reasonable risk of non-renewal of such Lease; (b) based on written communications from the Tenant under such Lease, the Property Manager, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, determines that there is a reasonable risk of non-renewal of such Lease; (c) the Issuer has received from the Tenant under the related Lease written notice of the non-renewal of such Lease; or (d) the Property Manager, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, determines that there is a reasonable risk of monetary default by the Tenant under such Lease or the Borrower under such Mortgage Loan, as applicable, or such a default has occurred or such Lease or Mortgage Loan is or relates to a Defaulted Asset
(iii) If the Class Principal Balance of any Notes is greater than zero on the Payment Date occurring on the Payment Date that is three years prior to the latest Legal Final Payment date of any outstanding, then a disposition period (the “Disposition Period”) will commence on such Payment Date and will continue until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Class Principal Balance of the Notes is reduced to zero and (ii) such Legal Final Payment Date. During the Disposition Period, the Property Manager shall utilize efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to sell (on behalf of the Issuers) Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Properties to third parties for the applicable Release Price (and in accordance with the other provisions set forth herein) in an amount sufficient to generate proceeds which would, when applied as described in Section 2.11 of the Indenture cause the Class Principal Balance of the Notes to be reduced to zero.
(f) Except with respect to repurchases or substitutions by the Originator or Support Provider due to a Collateral Defect, an Issuer may only sell or exchange its Mortgaged Properties and Mortgage Loans to or with any of its affiliates subject to the following conditions: (a) such Issuer may sell or exchange such Mortgaged Properties and Mortgage Loans only to or with a Spirit SPE that is not the Originator who conveyed such Mortgaged Property or Mortgage Loan to the Issuer or, in the case of such Mortgaged Properties or Mortgage Loans that are (or relate to) Delinquent Assets or Defaulted Assets, to or with the Property Manager, the Special Servicer or a Spirit SPE that is not the Originator who conveyed such Delinquent Asset or Defaulted Asset to the Issuer and (b) unless such Issuer receives (or has previously received) an Opinion of Counsel relating to “true sale”, “true contribution” or similar matters (or a bring-down to any such Opinion of Counsel previously given), the Aggregate Collateral Value of all Mortgaged Properties and Mortgage Loans owned by such Issuer that are sold to or exchanged with affiliates of such Issuer during any Closing Date Period or twelve-month period may not exceed 15.0% of the Collateral Value of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Properties owned by such Issuer as of the beginning of such twelve-month period or the Starting Closing Date of such Closing Date Period, as applicable.
Section 7.02. Third Party Purchase Options; Release of Mortgaged Properties to Affiliates under Defaulted or Delinquent Assets; Other Sales or Exchanges.
(a) In the event any third party authorized to do so exercises a Third Party Purchase Option in accordance with the terms of the applicable Lease, the Third Party Option Price paid by such third party shall be deposited into the Release Account (or, during the continuance of an Early Amortization Amount, the Collection Account), at the direction of the Property Manager, and upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate from the Property Manager to the effect that such deposit has been or will be made (which the Property Manager shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuers promptly after such deposit is made or immediately prior to the time at which such deposit will be made), the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be provided to it by the Property Manager and are reasonably necessary to release the related Mortgage or any other lien on or security interest in such Mortgaged Property (each, a “Third Party Option Mortgaged Property”), whereupon such Mortgaged Property may be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by such Issuer, free and clear of the lien of the Indenture and any Mortgage; provided, however, that the Tax Required Condition is met. Each of the applicable Issuers and the Property Manager hereby covenant and agree that they shall not solicit any Person to exercise any Third Party Purchase Option.
(b) A Mortgaged Property leased under or constituting any Delinquent Asset or any Defaulted Asset, or a Mortgage Property securing or constituting any Delinquent Asset or any Defaulted Asset, may at the option of the Property Manager or Special Servicer be (a) purchased by the Special Servicer or the Property Manager or any assignee thereof for cash in an amount equal to the applicable Release Price, or (b) substituted for one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgaged Properties or Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans owned by the Special Servicer, the Property Manager or any assignee thereof; provided, that (1) no Early Amortization Event or Series Post ARD Event has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a result of such purchase or substitution or (2) the Affirmative Rating Condition is satisfied with respect to such purchase or substitution; provided, further, that the Tax Required Condition is met.

The Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be provided to it by the applicable Issuer and are reasonably necessary to release any lien or security interest in the Released Mortgage Loan or Released Mortgage Property relating to such sale or exchange, whereupon such Mortgaged Property may be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by such Issuer, free and clear of the lien of the Indenture and any Mortgage.
Section 7.03. Transfer of Lease to New Mortgaged Property. 
In the event a Tenant under a Lease requests that such Lease be modified to apply to a property (owned by such Tenant or an Affiliate thereof) in lieu of the related Mortgaged Property, the substitute property shall be acquired by the applicable Issuer (with the consent of the Issuer and the Property Manager or Special Servicer, as applicable) from such Tenant or Affiliate thereof in exchange for the original Mortgaged Property (each such original Mortgaged Property, a “Lease Transfer Mortgaged Property”) and such substitute property will be mortgaged to the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that none of the applicable Issuer, the Property Manager or the Special Servicer shall consent to the substitution of a Lease Transfer Mortgaged Property unless (i) the substituted property is a Qualified Substitute Mortgaged Property and satisfies any criteria set forth in such Lease, (ii) the Property Manager and Back-Up Manager have been reimbursed for all Property Protection Advances and Emergency Property Expenses related to the Lease Transfer Mortgaged Property and (iii) the Tax Required Condition is met.

Any proceeds of such sale, transfer or other disposition shall not constitute part of the Collateral and shall not be deposited in the Collection Account or the Release Account.

Section 7.04.    Criteria Applicable to all Mortgage Properties and Mortgage Loans included in the Collateral Pool.

No Issuer shall acquire, either in connection with a New Issuance or as a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Qualified Substitute Mortgaged Property, any real property or mortgage loan that will not meet the definition of “Mortgaged Property” or “Mortgage Loan”, as applicable, set forth herein or that is operated in a business sector other than a “Business Sector” as defined in the most recent Series Supplement which includes a definition of “Business Sector.
